Current evidence on the effects of palm oil consumption on biomarkers of glucose metabolism is poor and limited to only healthy participants .
We conclude that little or no additional benefit will be obtained by replacing palm oil with other oils rich in mono or polyunsaturated fatty acids for changes in glucose metabolism
INTRODUCTION Vegetable oil is an important source of fatty acids , and as palm oil being the highest consumed vegetable oil in many countries , its high saturated fatty acid content has led many concerns on cardiometabolic health .
Dietary fatty acids has also been linked to affect glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity .
This systematic review is aim ed at critically evaluating the available evidence on the association of palm oil with the biomarkers of glucose metabolism as compared to other vegetable oils .
Effects of stereospecific positioning of fatty acids in triacylglycerol structures in native and randomized fats: a review of their nutritional implications
Most studies on lipid lowering diets have focused on the total content of saturated , polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids . However , the distribution of these fatty acids on the triacylglycerol ( TAG ) molecule and the molecular TAG species generated by this stereospecificity are characteristic for various native dietary TAGs . Fat r and omization or interesterification is a process involving the positional redistribution of fatty acids , which leads to the generation of new TAG molecular species . A comparison between native and r and omized TAGs is the subject of this review with regards to the role of stereospecificity of fatty acids in metabolic processing and effects on fasting lipids and postpr and ial lipemia . The positioning of unsaturated versus saturated fatty acids in the sn-2 position of TAGs indicate differences in early metabolic processing and postpr and ial clearance , which may explain modulatory effects on atherogenecity and thrombogenecity . Both human and animal studies are discussed with implication s for human health
