Are dietary fatty acid intakes associated with arterial stiffness and blood pressure?
Weech, Michelle; Vafeiadou, Katerina; Mihaylova, Rada; Hobby, Emma; Yaqoob, Parveen; Todd, Sue; Jackson, Kim G.; Lovegrove, Julie A. (2011-01)CVD is the major cause of death in Western societies. Arterial stiffness is a key factor in cardiovascular physiology, reflecting the alterations to the mechanical properties of the blood vessels(1). It can be measured ... -
Development of a Food-Exchange Model to Replace Saturated Fat with MUFAs and n-6 PUFAs in Adults at Moderate Cardiovascular Risk
Weech, Michelle; Vafeiadou, Katerina; Hasaj, Marinela; Todd, Susan; Yaqoob, Parveen; Jackson, Kim G.; Lovegrove, Julie A. (2014-06-01)The recommendation to reduce saturated fatty acid (SFA) consumption to ≤10% of total energy (%TE) is a key public health target aimed at lowering cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Replacement of SFA with unsaturated fats ... -
Number of endothelial progenitor cells are associated with body composition, but not fat intake or blood lipids
Altowaijri, Hana; Weech, Michelle; Vafeiadou, Katerina; Hobby, Emma; Wu, Sheila; Madden, Jackie; Jackson, Kim G.; Todd, Sue; Yaqoob, Parveen; Lovegrove, Julie A. (2011) -
Replacement of saturated with unsaturated fats had no impact on vascular function but beneficial effects on lipid biomarkers, E-selectin, and blood pressure results from the randomized, controlled Dietary Intervention and VAScular function (DIVAS) study
Vafeiadou, Katerina; Weech, Michelle; Altowaijri, Hana; Todd, Sue; Yaqoob, Parveen; Jackson, Kim G.; Lovegrove, Julie A. (2015-07-31)BACKGROUND: Public health strategies to lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk involve reducing dietary saturated fatty acid (SFA) intake to ≤10% of total energy (%TE). However, the optimal type of replacement fat is ... -
A review of the evidence for the effects of total dietary fat, saturated, monounsaturated and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids on vascular function, endothelial progenitor cells and microparticles
Vafeiadou, Katerina; Weech, Michelle; Sharma, Vandana; Yaqoob, Parveen; Todd, Susan; Williams, Christine M.; Jackson, Kim G.; Lovegrove, Julie A. (2012-02)Vascular dysfunction is recognised as an integrative marker of CVD. While dietary strategies aimed at reducing CVD risk include reductions in the intake of SFA, there are currently no clear guidelines on what should replace ...
