Saturated fat & HDL.Eating even one meal that's high in saturated fat saturated fat, any solid fat that is an ester of glycerol and a saturated fatty acid. The molecules of a saturated fat have only single bonds between carbon atoms; if double bonds are present in the fatty acid portion of the molecule, the fat is said to be can make it tougher for high-density lipoproteins, or HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards. (which carry cholesterol out of the body), to protect your arteries. Researchers fed 14 healthy people meals that were high in either saturated fat (coconut oil) or polyunsaturated fat (safflower oil Noun 1. safflower oil - oil from safflower seeds used as food as well as in medicines and paints Carthamus tinctorius, false saffron, safflower - thistlelike Eurasian plant widely grown for its red or orange flower heads and seeds that yield a valuable oil ). The HDL collected after the polyunsaturated polyunsaturated /poly·un·sat·u·rat·ed/ (-un-sach´er-at-ed) denoting a chemical compound, particularly a fatty acid, having two or more double or triple bonds in its hydrocarbon chain. meal was better at spurring the production of anti-inflammatory molecules than the HDL collected after the sat fat meal. Inflammation makes arteries more susceptible to clogging. What to do: Think twice before you dig into that slice of cheesecake, pizza, or steak. J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 48: 715, 2006. 
1)American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 80, No. 5, 1102-1103, November 2004 AND 2)Effect of dietary fatty acids on serum lipids and lipoproteins. A meta-analysis of 27 trials. <br>Mensink RP, Katan MB.<br><br>Department of Human Biology, Limburg University, Maastricht, The Netherlands.<br><br>To calculate the effect of changes in carbohydrate and fatty acid intake on serum lipid and lipoprotein levels, we reviewed 27 controlled trials published between 1970 and 1991 that met specific inclusion criteria. These studies yielded 65 data points, which were analyzed by multiple regression analysis using isocaloric exchanges of saturated (sat), monounsaturated (mono), and polyunsaturated (poly) fatty acids versus carbohydrates (carb) as the independent variables. For high density lipoprotein (HDL) we found the following equation: delta HDL cholesterol (mmol/l) = 0.012 x (carb----sat) 0.009 x (carb----mono) 0.007 x (carb---- poly) or, in milligrams per deciliter, 0.47 x (carb----sat) 0.34 x (carb----mono) 0.28 x (carb----poly). Expressions in parentheses denote the percentage of daily energy intake from carbohydrates that is replaced by saturated, cis-monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated fatty acids. All fatty acids elevated HDL cholesterol when substituted for carbohydrates, but the effect diminished with increasing unsaturation of the fatty acids. For low density lipoprotein (LDL) the equation was delta LDL cholesterol (mmol/l) = 0.033 x (carb----sat) - 0.006 x (carb----mono) - 0.014 x (carb----poly) or, in milligrams per deciliter, 1.28 x (carb----sat) - 0.24 x (carb----mono) - 0.55 x (carb---- poly). The coefficient for polyunsaturates was significantly different from zero, but that for monounsaturates was not. For triglycerides the equation was delta triglycerides (mmol/l) = -0.025 x (carb----sat) - 0.022 x (carb----mono) - 0.028 x (carb---- poly) or, in milligrams per deciliter, -2.22 x (carb----sat) - 1.99 x (carb----mono) - 2.47 x (carb----poly).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS |
