Comparison of Dietary Fats on Vascular Parameters

Acute Effects of Dietary Fats on Postprandial Vascular Function in Healthy Individuals: Pilot Double Blind, Randomized, Controlled Trial

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 24 (estimated)

• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of consuming 50g of fat from 5 different sources (coconut, canola, grapeseed, chia, and butter) on arterial stiffness, blood pressure and blood glucose levels. It is hypothesized that butter will have the most detrimental effect on acute vascular function. Canola, grapeseed and chia oil with their decreased content of SFA are hypothesized to impair vascular function to a lesser extent.
