Effect of a Moderate Fat Diet With and Without Avocados on Lipoprotein Particle Number Size and Subclasses in Overweight and Obese Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

摘要

BackgroundAvocados are a nutrient‐dense source of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) that can be used to replace saturated fatty acids (SFA) in a diet to lower low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C). Well‐controlled studies are lacking on the effect of avocado consumption on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.
