Effects of three dietary fats on plasma lipids and lipoproteins in fasting and post-prandial humans after a short-term diet.
The effects of 3 dietary fats (olive oil, canbra oil and butter) on the fatty acids of blood lipids and on serum lipoproteins were compared in 6 healthy adult outpatients, after a 6-day normocaloric diet including 35% of the studied fat. Important, although incomplete, changes appeared in the fatty acid composition of the various serum lipids and in the composition and distribution of serum lipoproteins. These changes probably result from the degree of saturation of the fat ingested. Moreover, differences were observed among individual subjects. Genetic differences, which are important in clinical practice, are stressed in connection with risks of vascular diseases and hyperlipidemia and affect intestinal fat absorption and lipoprotein metabolism.
