Volume 6 Issue 1

▪ Keyword : lipidaemic effects, tocotrienols, tocopherols, squalene

▪ Content : Syrian Golden hamsters have been widely used as a experimental model for the investigation of the aetiology and development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

▪ Keyword : palm oil, tocotrienols, flavonoids, synergistic, Tamoxifen

▪ Content : Palm oil, unlike many other dietary oils, does not increase the yield of chemically-induced mammary tumors in rats when fed at high levels in the diet.

▪ Keyword : saturated fatty acids, vitamin E, treatment, alcoholic liver disease

▪ Content : Several lines of evidence indicate that dietary fat has the potential to affect the severity of alcohol-induced livery injury.

▪ Keyword : adipose tissue, obesity, influence, dietary fat type

▪ Content : Recent studies indicate that the prevalence of obesity in adults has increased by 30% or more in the past decade, with increases in both genders and in all ethnic and racial populations and age groups.

▪ Keyword : red palm oil, vitamin A, deficiency

▪ Content : Red palm oil (Elaeis guineensis, RPO) is nutritionally rich and unique in comparison with other edible oils as it has a high content of beta-carotene (400 ppm).

▪ Keyword : palm oil, fractions, protein, utilisation

▪ Content : The influence of dietary palm-oil fractions on protein utilisation has been investigated in the growing rat.

▪ Keyword : diet-derived, topical, tocotrienols, skin, ultraviolet

▪ Content : To evaluate the tissue-specific distribution of lipophilic antioxidants including various vitamin E forms (tocotrienols and tocopherols) and oxidised and reduced coenzyme Q (ubiquinone and ubiquinol), a sensitive procedure was developed using gradient HPLC with both electrochemical- and UV-detection.

▪ Keyword : vascular, endothelial cell, palm oil, antioxidants

▪ Content : Several cardiovascular risk factors including, hypercholesterolaemia and hypertension, lead to diseased blood vessels due to endothelial cell dysfunction.

▪ Keyword : palm oil, antioxidant, hyperlipidaemia, carotid stenosis

▪ Content : Antioxidants appear to play a role in the prevention of atherosclerosis.

▪ Keyword : palm oil, nutrition

▪ Content : The thinking about how fats affect human health has been dominated by interest in fatty acid patterns, particularly their saturation and unsaturation, and how these characteristics, in turn, determine serum lipoprotein composition and concentration with respect to the pathogenesis of macrovascular or coronary heart disease (CHD).

▪ Keyword : influence, fat, composition, haemostatic variables

▪ Content : The effects of saturated fatty acids on platelet function remain uncertain although hypercholesterolaemia is associated with increased platelet aggregrability.

▪ Keyword : palmitic acid, lipoprotein, cholesterol synthesis, humans

▪ Content : The effect of palmitic acid (C16:0) on serum lipoprotein cholesterol levels is debatable.

▪ Keyword : lipid, lipoprotein, dietary palm oil, palm olein, review

▪ Content : Several human clinical trials have now evaluated palm oil's effects on blood lipids and lipoproteins.

▪ Keyword : vervet monkey, whole-food diet, lipid, lipoprotein metabolism, atherosclerosis

▪ Content : It is well established that some species of nonhuman primates are models of choice for polygenic hyperlipoproteinaemia and atherosclerosis induced and promoted by diets as occur in man.

▪ Keyword : palm oil, benefit, mild, hypercholeterolaemia, Chinese

▪ Content : The effects on serum lipids and platelet function of diets prepared with palm oil (PA) and peanut oil (PE) were studied in two groups of mild hypercholesterolaemic volunteers (serum TC between 5.5-7.0 mmol/L, aged 32-68).

▪ Keyword : oleic, palmitic acid, lipid, lipoprotein, cholesterol

▪ Content : The current study was designed to determine whether the transition from a low-fat (20% en) to a high-fat (40% en) diet through incremental increases in specific fatty acids (16:0 or 18:1) would exert a differential effect on plasma lipids and lipoprotein metabolism.

▪ Keyword : staurated, trans fatty acid, oil blend, cholesterol-free, atherosclerosis

▪ Content : Thirty six-male New Zealand white rabbits subdivided into four dietary groups (9 animals per group) were fed high fat (36% en), cholesterol-free diets for nine months.
