Abstract in brief

  • Omega-3 fatty acids (n3PUFA) are better absorbed with high-fat meals, but the impact of different dietary fats on their incorporation into blood lipids is not well-understood.
  • A study found that supplementing with n3PUFA alongside saturated fats (SFA) increased total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol more than when combined with omega-6 fats (n6PUFA), and it also enhanced the incorporation of n3PUFA into blood plasma and erythrocytes.
  • The findings suggest that replacing SFA with n6PUFA, even if it keeps cholesterol levels low, may reduce the incorporation of beneficial n3PUFA into blood and tissue lipids.]

@TrejbalChris @TamarHaspel Here's a mechanism that explains why in some contexts higher SFA can be beneficial. https://t.co/VzYLG6hlzr

Conclusions: The results suggest that dietary substitution of SFA with n-6PUFA, despite maintaining low levels of circulating cholesterol, hinders n-3PUFA incorporation into plasma and tissue lipids. https://t.co/KhnU15ASDY

@eric_zuodao APOE4 makes it hard for EPA and DHA to get into the brain. SFA in diet might not be bad in that context, as long as carbs aren't also there in amounts sufficient to keep blood SFA levels high. https://t.co/VzYLG6hlzr

@FrogHarmless @Sabram43096838 @DanielJDrucker @whsource @PNASNews You're not going to see anti-obesity effects of fish oil FAs in the presence of high unsaturated, low saturated fat diets, in humans or in mice. You need to design RCTs like this. https://t.co/VzYLG6hlzr
