Abstract
Background: There has long been a lot of debate about the role of nutrition in the pathogenesis of cardio- vascular diseases. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially n-3 PUFAs are the types of fat that favor metabolic markers and represent central components of the Mediterranean diet, which is considered an ideal dietary pattern with great cardio protective effect. Aim: This study aims to assess the influence of Mediterranean diet on lipid metabolism, compared to not-Mediterranean hypocaloric dietary patterns. Materials and Methods: This prospective clinical trial evaluated total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides and their modifications in a group of adults in relation to the two different kinds of diet: on the one hand the typical western dietetic pattern, characterized by higher intakes of red meat, dairy products and refined grains, low consumption of fruits and vegetables (L-diet), and the Mediterranean diet (M-diet).
Highlights
The Mediterranean diet was associated to the normalization of the plasma levels of total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, as well as to an important reduction of body weight and visceral fat, and cardiovascular risk factors
Pertanto, l’unico modello alimentare al mondo ad essere riconosciuto “Patrimonio dell’Umanità” (UNESCO, Nairobi in Kenya, 16 Novembre 2010) e ad essere definito come un sistema radicato nel pieno rispetto del territorio e della sua biodiversità, che assicura la conservazione e lo sviluppo delle attività tradizionali, artigianali, di pesca e raccolta nelle comunità del Mediterraneo come per esempio quelle di Soria in Spagna, Koroni in Grecia, Cilento in Italia e Chefchaouen in Marocco

Summary
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially n-3 PUFAs are the types of fat that favor metabolic markers and represent central components of the Istituzioni pubbliche e organismi scientifici hanno dato vita, nei vari paesi del mondo, a linee guida o direttive alimentari per indirizzare il consumatore verso una Mediterranean diet, which is considered an ideal dietary dieta sana e bilanciata.
