This report presents dietary intake estimates for fats and fatty acids from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2000, for the U.S. population. These include: total fat; total saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fat; individual fatty acids; and cholesterol. Fat intakes are estimated from one 24-hour dietary recall interview. Population means, medians, and stand...

• It is evident that both dietary and metabolic factors influence plasma cholesterol levels and the development of experimental atherosclerosis. The type of fat normally consumed is one of the important dietary factors. Although the "polyunsaturated" fatty acids (consisting primarily of linoleic acid) are known to depress plasma cholesterol levels, it does not follow that an excess of dietary l...

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (the Academy) that dietary fat for the healthy adult population should provide 20% to 35% of energy, with an increased consumption of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and limited intake of saturated and trans fats. The Academy recommends a food-based approach through a diet that includes regular consumption of fatty fish, nuts and seed...

chicken has been used as a suitable model for lipid metabolism studies, because dietary modifications especially dietary fat type can change chicken body composition. fats act as a condense source of energy and certain fatty acids such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) are required for both animal and human health. the n-3 pufas, especially, eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic ...

The profile of liver acyl-CoAs induced by dietary fats of variable compositions or by xenobiotic hypolipidemic amphipathic carboxylates was evaluated in vivo using a novel electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry methodology of high resolution, sensitivity, and reliability. The composition of liver fatty acyl-CoAs was found to reflect the composition of dietary fat. Treatment with hypol...

The effect of dietary lipid on the thermotropic properties of acetylcholinesterase activity was examined in rat synaptosomal membrane preparations after feeding diets containing soya-bean oil, sunflower oil or soya-bean phosphatidylcholine as the dietary fats. Arrhenius plots and energies of activation were altered by the duration of feeding as a function of time, as well as by the composition ...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether nutrient and food intakes among South Asian adult immigrants differ by length of residence in the USA. DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis to examine differences in nutrient and food intakes by length of residence in the USA. Dietary data were collected using an interviewer-administered, culturally appropriate FFQ, while self-reported length of residence was assessed ...

Rabbits fed on semi-synthetic diets without added cholesterol develop hypercholesterolaemia and a form of atherosclerosis when butter (Wigand, 1959 ; Funch, Krogh & Dam, 1960) or hydrogenated fat (Wigand, 1959) is the sole dietary fat, whereas dietary vegetable oils or fat mixtures having high contents of polyenoic fatty acids increase the serum cholesterol levels only slightly and do not produ...

Methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diets that cause steatohepatitis in rodents are typically enriched in polyunsaturated fat. To determine whether the fat composition of the MCD formula influences the development of liver disease, we manufactured custom MCD formulas with fats ranging in PUFA content from 2% to 59% and tested them for their ability to induce steatohepatitis. All modified-fat MCD...

A study was designed to know the dietary management and to compare the actual intake of macronutrients with the recommended intake of the hospitalized cardiovascular disease patients at Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar, Pakistan. A sample of 101 CVD hospitalized patients was selected by using convenient sampling method. Questionnaire regarding clinical, biochemical, dietary, family history, d...
