Re: MUFA, OO or who knows what? more questions

Some PUFAs (and SFA)worst than others? The following passage is taken

from an abstract accessible below.

" The SFA group had higher triacylglycerol, cholesterol, low-density

lipoprotein cholesterol, and atherogenic index (ratio of cholesterol

to high-density lipoprotein) than did the PUFA and control groups. The

PUFA group had low serum cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and low-density

lipoprotein cholesterol as compared with the SFA group. SFA increased

myocardial lipid hydroperoxide and diminished glutathione peroxidase.

Despite the beneficial effects on serum lipids, the PUFA diet led to

the highest levels of myocardial lipoperoxide and lipid hydroperoxide

and diminished superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. "
