monounsaturated fatty acids are protective against metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk factors," Lipids, vol.
Thus,
monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) rich diets are preferably encouraged for diabetic patients because of their beneficial effects on glycemic control and cardiovascular parameters in diabetic patients8.
In this study the
monounsaturated fatty acids (nervonic acid and erucic acid) were high in T.
Grundy decided to conduct a study to see how well a diet rich in
monounsaturated fatty acids compared with a diet high in polyunsaturates or other types of fats.
Recent research shows that olive oil's potent effects are dependent not only on its
monounsaturated fatty acids, but also on constituents known as polyphenols.
As far as PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) and MUFA (
monounsaturated fatty acid) are concerned significant variation was observed in both the species (Table 5).
Moreover, it can provide an insight to evaluate the nutritional quality due to the levels of saturated fatty acids (SFA),
monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and the percentage of omega 3 and 6.
Major saturated fatty acid (SFA),
monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) were palmitic acid, oleic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in L.

Oleic acid is the only
monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) in the Turkana doum palm nut whereas traces of palmitoleic acid are present in the palm kernel and coconut oil extracts.
Dr Menendez said their study was the first to report
monounsaturated fatty acid in the diet cut the expression of Her-2/neu - 'one of the most important oncogene in breast cancer' - by 46 per cent.
