Fat from Tenebrionidae Bugs - Sterols Content, Fatty Acid Profiles, and Cardiovascular Risk Indexes

Saturated fatty acid intake and cardiovascular risk.

Since the 1960s, clinical and animal studies have shown that reduction of dietary saturated fatty acid (SFA) consumption is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Thus, reduction of SFA intake is now one of the central strategies of dietary recommendations to reduce CVD worldwide. For example, the World Health Organization and the US Dietary Guidelines recommend dietary c...

Dietary fat and fatty acid intake and epithelial ovarian cancer risk: evidence from epidemiological studies.

The associations between dietary fat and fatty acid (FA) intakes and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk have been inconsistent in previous studies. We conducted a meta-analysis of epidemiological studies to evaluate these associations. We identified relevant studies by searching PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases. We used random-effects models to estimate summary relative risks (RRs...

Saturated Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease: Replacements for Saturated Fat to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk

Dietary recommendations to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) have focused on reducing intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) for more than 50 years. While the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise substituting both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids for SFA, evidence supports other nutrient substitutions that will also reduce CVD risk. For example, replac...

Fatty Acid Composition of Fat-Tail and Visceral Fat Depots from Chaal and Zandi Pure Bred Lambs and Their Crosses with Zel (Three Iranian Breeds)

The present study was done to evaluate the breed, sex and sampling site influence on fat-tail and visceral fatty acid composition of five pure and cross bred lambs from three Iranian sheep breeds. Particularly, on the content of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids from two cut-able fat depots (fat-tail and visceral). All animals were managed and finished up together and received the same diet....
