Abstract

Abstract : Mol. Nutr. Food Res . 2016, 60, 1206–1212. DOI:10.1002/mnfr.201500744 There is much controversy about whether all unsaturated fats have the same benefits for metabolic syndrome and weight gain. The strength of the relationships between three unsaturated fatty acids in erythrocytes with measurements of body composition, metabolism, and inflammation in healthy adults is tested. Linoleic acid, but not oleic acid or the sum of long chain omega 3 fatty acids, is associated with increased appendicular lean mass and decreased trunk adipose mass and insulin resistance.
