Background: Dietary fat consumption is one of the major modifiable risk factors implicated in the causation of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Postprandial lipaemia (PPL); the increase in circulating blood triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations after a fat containing meal, is an independent risk factor
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, being dyslipidemias, oxidative stress, sedentary lifestyle and obesity primary risk factors. As a way to reduce cardiovascular diseases risk factors, the intake of antioxidants that come from a fruit and vegetable-rich diet or
This study will be conducted using a randomized, crossover design with six dietary phases: a low GI meal or a high GI meal with saturated fat, monounsaturated fat or polyunsaturated fat. All participants will be randomly allocated to the six test meals, with the order balanced. Fifteen participants
Subjects aged between 30 and 60 years old (male and female) with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) will be recruited for this study. A randomized, crossover, double-blind study design will be carried out to investigate the acute effects of high fat meals prepared using palm olein (PO), chemically
A randomized, double-blind, crossover design study was conducted to test the acute effects of high fat meals enriched with (1) saturated fatty acids (SFA); (2) monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA); (3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) vs. (4) a low fat/high carbohydrate (CARB) meal on postprandial
Commonly consumed vegetable fats and oils are comprised predominantly of TAG, and small amounts of DAG and monoacylglycerol. TAG consists of 3 fatty acid ester, whereas diacylglycerol oil has 2 fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol backbone. Recently, Watanabe et al., developed a process by which
This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Bangkok and surrounding provinces. Approximately 1500 participants were enrolled. Study staff interviewed participants on basic demographic data, health status, physical activities, food frequency and 24-hour recall. Anthropometry (body weight, height,
There is an increasing prevalence of chronic heart failure (CHF) in Western societies. In the last decade, progress has been made in understanding the neurohormonal involvement in the progression of the disease and consequently, new treatments have been developed although the mortality rate still
In this 3-month pilot study, we will introduce to 40 adolescents "at risk for overweight" (i.e., a BMI/age >85th percentile), a structured meal plan consisting of meal replacements, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and dairy products. We will encourage and invite at least one parent to
