Abstract
Abstract Background Fatty acids are important components of diet that may influence the development of CVD. Objective To verify the relationship of dietary fatty acids with cardiometabolic markers in individuals at the cardiometabolic risk. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 282 subjects (116 M/166 F, 42 ± 16 years) attended the Cardiovascular Health Care Program, Universidade Federal de Vicosa (Brazil). Anthropometric and body composition measurements as well as metabolic and inflammatory markers were assessed by standard procedures. Demographic and lifestyle variables [...]
Highlights
Fatty acids are important components of diet that may influence the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), since fatty acids participate in important biological functions, such as energy substrate, regulation of metabolic pathways and inflammatory processes, Helen Hermana Miranda Hermsdorff, RD, PhD Associate Professor, Department of Nutrition and Health Universidade Federal de Viçosa - UFV helenhermana@ufv.br
The medium chain fatty acids are absorbed in the non-esterified form and transported to the liver, bound to albumin, where they are rapidly metabolized
Long-chain fatty acids undergo a process of esterification, forming triglycerides, which can remain in the bloodstream, carried by chylomicrons, or released into the tissues, acting as a form of fat storage in the body
Summary
(DM), dyslipidemias, systemic arterial hypertension and cardiovascular diseases (CVD).[3] In this context, fatty acids are important components of diet that may influence the development of CVD, since fatty acids participate in important biological functions, such as energy substrate, regulation of metabolic pathways and inflammatory processes, Manuscript received April 03, 2019; revised manuscript October 16, 2019; accepted November 24, 2019. Excessive deposition of these lipids may lead to an increase in CVD.[7] little is known about the relationship between the consumption of medium and long chain fatty acids and cardiovascular risk parameters.
