Walnuts and serum lipids.
Tree nuts and their importance in the prevention of coronary disease.
Substitution of saturated with monounsaturated fat in a 4-week diet affects body weight and composition of overweight and obese men.
A randomised crossover study of eight overweight or obese men (aged 24-49 years; BMI 25.5-31.3 kg/m(2)); who followed two diets for 4 weeks each; was performed to determine whether substitution of saturated fat with monounsaturated fat affects body weight and composition. Subjects were provided with all food and beverages as modules (selected ad libitum) of […]
A monounsaturated fatty acid-rich pecan enriched diet favorably alters the serum lipid profile of healthy men and women.
Frequent consumption of nuts is associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. We investigated the effect of pecans rich in monounsaturated fat as an alternative to the Step 1 diet in modifying serum lipids and lipoproteins in men and women with normal to moderately high serum cholesterol. In a single-blind; randomized; controlled; crossover feeding study; […]

Low-fat monounsaturated rich diets containg high-oleic peanuts improve serum lipoprotein profiles
High-monounsaturated fatty acid diets with peanuts-peanut butter or peanut oil lower total cholesterol and LDL-C identically to a step 2 diet but eliminate the triglyceride increase. Presentation
Effects of walnut consumption as part of a low-fat; low-cholesterol diet on serum cardiovascular risk factors
Serum components; such as lipoproteins; coagulation factors (factor VII; tissue plasminogen activator (tPA); plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1); fibrinogen); and homocysteine have been associated with cardiovascular disease. Dietary intervention with a low-fat; low-cholesterol diet has favorably influenced cardiovascular disease and certain food; specifically the consumption of nuts; has been associated with reduced cardiovascular risks. The effects […]
Walnut-enriched diet increases the association of LDL from hypercholesterolemic men with human HepG2 cells
In a randomized; cross-over feeding trial involving 10 men with polygenic hypercholesterolemia; a control; Mediterranean-type cholesterol-lowering diet; and a diet of similar composition in which walnuts replaced approximately 35% of energy from unsaturated fat; were given for 6 weeks each. Compared with the control diet; the walnut diet reduced serum total and LDL cholesterol by […]
