Partially Hydrogenated Oils: Dose Response Evaluation

/in /by

There is evidence of a significant dose-dependent linear relationship between industrial trans fatty acids (iTFA) intake from partially hydrogenated oils and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), a validated surrogate marker of coronary heart disease risk. The aim of this study is to conduct a meta-regression of controlled clinical trial data to investigate quantitatively the relationship between dietary intake of iTFAs and increased LDL-C, and to systematically consider the data relating to the mode of action for the effects of iTFAs on plasma LDL-C levels.

The aim of this project is to characterize the existing literature regarding intervention trials on industrial trans fatty acid intake as a substitute for cis-monounsaturated fatty acids or saturated fatty acids and resulting changes in LDL- or HDL-cholesterol.
