Mar 31, 2024 · The role of lipids and lipoproteins as causal factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well established. Dietary saturated fatty acids (SFA), which are in milk, butter, cheese, beef, lamb, pork, poultry, palm oil, and coconut oil increase LDL-C and HDL-C. The increase in LDL-C is due to a decrease in hepatic LDL clearance and an increase in LDL production secondary to a decrease in hepatic ...

The results of this meta-analysis show that the major dietary saturated fats (palmitic, stearic, lauric, and myristic acids) have differential effects on the lipid profile: Myristic and lauric acids increase all the cholesterol fractions (e.g., total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio, TG, apolipoprotein A-I, and apolipoprotein B) more than ...

Abstract. Inflammation is believed to play a central role in many of the chronic diseases that characterize modern society. In the past decade, our understanding of how dietary fats affect our immune system and subsequently our inflammatory status has grown considerably. There are compelling data showing that high-fat meals promote endotoxin [e ...
May 1, 2023 · Introduction. Fats and lipids are an essential component of the homeostatic function of the human body. Lipids contribute to some of the body’s most vital processes. Lipids are fatty, waxy, or oily compounds that are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in polar solvents such as water. Lipids include:

Cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoproteins are important constituents of the lipid fraction of the human body. Cholesterol is an unsaturated alcohol of the steroid family of compounds; it is essential for the normal function of all animal cells and is a fundamental element of their cell membranes. It is also a precursor of various critical substances such as adrenal and gonadal ...
