Summary
Brief summary
Fatty fast food meals markedly and acutely increase circulating numbers of endothelial cell microparticles (EMPs) that are a marker of endothelial damage. These meals are usually rich in saturated fat and oxidized lipids that may adversely affect the vascular endothelium. Our study aims to compare the effect of ingesting heated polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) enriched in oxidized lipids, and unheated PUFA and saturated fat on circulating number of EMPs in healthy subjects. The findings of the study may indicate whether dietary advice that includes increased PUFA consumption and use in cooking needs to be modified.
