Nutraceuticals for Cardiovascular Risk Related-Obesity, the Role of Mufa Avocado: A Scoping Review
Obesity and its complications are a major nutritional problem worldwide, broadly impacting various organ systems. It causes a negative effect on the risk of obesity-induced cardiovascular disease (CVD). Guidelines recommend MUFA in dietary therapy for obesity and CVD. However, little literature has focused on the potential of avocado as a nutraceutical

Dietary substitution of SFA with MUFA within high-fat diets attenuates hyperinsulinaemia and pancreatic islet dysfunction [PDF]
AbstractPreliminary evidence has suggested that high-fat diets (HFD) enriched with SFA, but not MUFA, promote hyperinsulinaemia and pancreatic hypertrophy with insulin resistance. The objective of this study was to determine whether the substitution of dietary MUFA within a HFD could attenuate the progression of pancreatic islet dysfunction seen with ...

Dietary associations with chronic disease risk factors; legumes, MUFA and PUFA
Heart disease and diabetes are increasingly evident in younger populations. Two heart disease biomarkers are low concentrations of HDL‐C (men <40 mg/dL, women <50 mg/dL) and high Triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations (>150 mg/dL).

Red blood cell MUFAs and risk of coronary artery disease in the Physicians’ Health Study [PDF]
Previous studies have reported beneficial effects of a Mediterranean diet rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) on coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. However, these findings remain inconsistent because some experimental studies have suggested atherogenic and lipotoxicity effects of long-chain and very-long-chain MUFAs on cardiomyocytes.We ...
