2. Dietary Fatty Acids and Inflammation Observational and Interventional Studies
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Dietary fat quality influences the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A low-grade inflammation is suggested to contribute to the disease development, often accompanied by obesity. Whereas n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been considered anti-inflammatory, n-6 PUFA have been proposed to act pro-inflammatory. READ MORE

4. Interaction between dietary factors and genetic risk for lipoprotein traits and cardiovascular disease
University dissertation from Department of Clinical Sciences, Lund UniversityAbstract : In previous studies, a high quality diet has been associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to a low diet quality, and specific “healthy” diet components, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), have been hypothesized to reduce the risk of CVD. However, results from epidemiological studies have been conflicting. READ MORE
