Effects of Diet High in Palmitoleic Acid on Serum Lipid Levels and Metabolism

Abstract

A randomized crossover feeding trial with a high monounsaturated fat diet (HIMUFA) based on macadamia nuts and oil and a typical American diet high in saturated fat (HISAT) was conducted on 27 healthy men and women aged 20 to 52. Fatty acid profiles for the 2-diets were HIMUFA, 28% Kcal fat (22% MUFA, 9% SFA); HISAT, 38% Kcal fat (11% MUFA 20% SFA). The percentage of calories derived from protein and carbohydrates were 15% and 47% respectively, and cholesterol levels were constant (300 mg/day) for both diets. Each diet was consumed for 8 weeks with a 2-month washout period.
