MUFA-containing olive oil consumption was associated with
higher plasma total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglyceride
concentrations when compared to PUFA-containing corn oil
consumption.
PUFA, but not MUFA, rich oils decrease HDL cholesterol
concentratiophytosterols, perhaps working through
inhibition of cholesterol absorption, are at least in part
responsible for the differential effects on cholesterol
synthesis observed between MUFA- and PUFA-containing oils.
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that plasma
triglyceride concentrations correlate positively with MUFA
and negatively with PUFA intakes.
