Dietary Effects on Monocyte Phenotypes in Subjects With Hypertriglyceridemia and Metabolic Syndrome.

In patients with hypertriglyceridemia, a short-term low-saturated fat vs high-saturated fat diet induced lower plasma lipids and improved monocyte phenotypes. These findings highlight the role of diet fat content and composition for monocyte phenotypes and possibly cardiovascular disease risk in these patients.
