Extra virgin olive oil mitigates postprandial lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation and oxidative stress.
PMID: Eur J Nutr. 2019 Mar ;58(2):843-851. Epub 2018 May 16. PMID: 29766292 Abstract Title: Gut-derived lipopolysaccharides increase post-prandial oxidative stress via Nox2 activation in patients with impaired fasting glucose tolerance: effect of extra-virgin olive oil. Abstract: PURPOSE: Post-prandial phase is characterized by enhanced oxidative stress but the underlying mechanism is unclear. We investigated if …

Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIMS: Dietary polyphenols have beneficial effects on glucose/lipid metabolism in subjects at high risk to develop type 2 diabetes; however, the underlying …
Polyphenols may modulate intestinal lipid absorption through effects on intestinal glucose uptake.
PMID: Food Funct. 2019 Jun 19 ;10(6):3127-3134. PMID: 31140506 Abstract Title: Inhibition of intestinal glucose transport by polyphenols: a mechanism for indirect attenuation of cholesterol absorption? Abstract: Cholesterol uptake and chylomicron synthesis are promoted by increasing glucose concentrations in both healthy and diabetic individuals during the postprandial phase. The goal of this study was to …
Flaxseed fiber suppresses postprandial lipemia and appetite in healthy young men.
PMID: Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis. 2013 Feb ;23(2):136-43. Epub 2011 Jul 29. PMID: 21802266 Abstract Title: Flaxseed dietary fibers suppress postprandial lipemia and appetite sensation in young men.

Substituting saturated fats with monounsaturated fats within high-fat diets attenuates hyperinsulinemia and pancreatic islet dysfunction.
PMID: Br J Nutr. 2020 Mar 3:1-22. Epub 2020 Mar 3. PMID: 32122411 Abstract Title: Dietary substitution of saturated with monounsaturated fatty acids within high-fat diets attenuates hyperinsulinemia and pancreatic islet dysfunction. Abstract: Preliminary evidence suggested that high-fat diets (HFD) enriched with saturated fatty acids (SFA) but not monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), promoted hyperinsulinemia and …
