High producing dairy cows generally receive in the diet up to 5–6% of fat. This is a relatively
low amount of fat in the diet compared to diets in monogastrics; however, dietary fat is …

The liver plays a key role in lipid metabolism. Depending on species it is, more or less, the
hub of fatty acid synthesis and lipid circulation through lipoprotein synthesis. Eventually the …

The liver secretes triglyceride-rich VLDLs, and the triglycerides in these particles are taken
up by peripheral tissues, mainly heart, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. Blocking hepatic …

The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is essential for the hepatic secretion of
apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins. Previous studies have indicated that …

Background and aims: When a high fat oral load is followed several hours later by further
ingestion of nutrients, there is an early postprandial peak in plasma triacylglycerol (TG). The …

Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD),
develops due not only to a single cardiovascular risk factor but to a variety of complex …

Increasing evidence indicates favourable effects of the Mediterranean diet, partly associated
to its monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) content on both obesity and diabetes. However …

OBJECTIVE: The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of a polyunsaturated
fat diet compared with an isocaloric Mediterranean-style monounsaturated fat diet …

Chylomicrons (CM), secreted by the intestine in response to fat ingestion and to a lesser
extent during the postabsorptive state (lipid poor CM), are the major vehicles whereby …

Diets rich in saturated fatty acids have long been associated with increased plasma
cholesterol concentrations and hence increased risk of cardiovascular disease. More …
