Serum cholesterol response to changes in the diet

Effect of different sources of dietary omega‐3 fatty acids on general performance and fatty acid profiles of thigh, breast, liver and portal blood of broilers

“…The parallel reduction of MUFA, however, must be regarded as an unwanted side effect. From a physiological standpoint, MUFA must be seen as important main components of fats, since they do not influence blood cholesterol, as do SFA, 38 and they are not precursors of biologically active compounds such as ω6 or ω3FA. These properties of MUFA are presumably the main reason for the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, in which olive oil, comprising about 750 g kg −1 oleic acid (C18:1), is the main lipid source.…”

“…Holman 41 suggests that it is not the absolute intake of essential (ω6 + ω3) FA but the ratio of ω6/ω3FA that is responsible for the quality of their biological response. A consequence of these theories 38,40,41 is that an optimised diet should provide small but balanced ratios of ω6 and ω3FA…”

Terbutaline aerosol given through pear spacer in acute severe asthma.

“…Comparison of those men with the others showed a highly significant difference in the average diet scores calculated from the formulas in the references cited above. [1][2][3] In those formulas the saturated fatty acids have much more weight than the polyenes.…”

Hypothesis into Theory – the Development of Aetiological Concepts of Ischaemic Heart Disease: A Review

“…Hypertension and obesity are no less prevalent in Japan than in the West; cigarette consumption is similar. Alone amongst the risk factors serum cholesterol levels are far lower in the Japanese (Keys 1970) due largely, as far as is known, to their low intake of saturated fatty acids (Keys et al 1965, Epstein 1967. Thus the risks of IHD conferred by diabetes, hypertension and smoking are small when saturated fat intake is low.…”
