Figure 1From: Effects of acute ingestion of different fats on oxidative stress and inflammation in overweight and obese adults Inflammatory mediator response to three high fat meals differing in fat type. Plasma a) C-reactive protein (CRP) increased over time (p < 0.05), b) tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) decreased over time (p < 0.001), c) Soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) tended to decrease over time (p < 0.085), and d) Soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) but remained lower for MFA (p = 0.031) than both O3FA and SFA, and the area under the curve was higher for SFA than MFA (p = 0.051) as assessed by ELISA. Data are presented as Mean ± SEM. O3FA = omega 3 fatty acid enriched meal, SFA = high saturated fat meal, and MFA = high monounsaturated fat meal. * indicates time point difference from baseline (p < 0.05).Back to article page
