Dietary fatty acids and insulin resistance

Lovejoy, Jennifer C.·1999·Current Atherosclerosis Reports

Abstract

High-fat diets have been associated with insulin resistance, a risk factor for both Type II diabetes and heart disease. The effect of dietary fat on insulin varies depending on the type of fatty acid consumed. Saturated fatty acids have been consistently associated with insulin resistance. On the other hand, medium and long-chain fatty acid intakes are associated with insulin sensitivity, as are high intakes of w3 fatty acids. Trans fatty acids appear to potentiate insulin secretion, at least in the short-term, to a greater degree than cis fatty acids. This may reflect chronic alterations in insulin sensitivity, although this remains to be tested. In summary, although it must be emphasized that all diets high in fat cause insulin resistance relative to high-carbohydrate diets, it appears that dietary saturated, short-chain, and w6 fatty acids have the most deleterious effects on insulin action.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The low-glycemic index, the high intake of monounsaturated and n-3 fatty acids, and the lower intake of branch-chain amino acids may exert some additional beneficial effects in reducing insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia.

    “However, it is possible that the low-glycemic index, the high intake of monounsaturated and n-3 fatty acids, and the lower intake of branch-chain amino acids may exert some additional beneficial effects in reducing insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia (69,70).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
