A pilot study was conducted of males 40-45 years old from rural areas of three countries to study the long-term effects of dietary fats on the lipids of plasma, red blood cells (RBCs), and platelets. Differences were observed in cholesterol and phospholipid levels of plasma. Total phospholipids of RBCs and platelets were similar in all three countries. The pattern of individual phospholipids of RBCs in the Finnish and Italian samples differed from the American samples. In all plasma and RBC… Expand

Fatty Acid Composition of Erythrocytes and Blood Plasma in Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome
TLDR
The conducted research has shown that blood plasma of MODS patients has a decreased relative level of polyunsaturated fatty acids and saturated stearic (C18:0) acid, while there is a significant increase in relative content of monouns saturated fatty acids. Expand
Plasma and erythrocyte membrane phospholipids and fatty acids in Italian general population and hemodialysis patients
TLDR
The results suggest that many classes of PUFAs are lacking in HD patients, due to the removal of nutrients during the dialysis and to persistent malnutrition, which may exert a protective action and reduce the risk of CVD in HD patient. Expand
Effect of a low-fat diet on fatty acid composition in red cells, plasma phospholipids, and cholesterol esters: investigation of a biomarker of total fat intake.
TLDR
Saturated FA, cisMUFA, n-6 HUFA, and exogenous FAs greatly differed in their response to the LFD and MFD and a combination of FAs almost perfectly differentiated the consumption of 34% fat from that of 17% fat. Expand
Fatty acid composition of serum cholesterol esters, and erythrocyte and platelet membranes as indicators of long-term adherence to fat-modified diets.
TLDR
An increase in alpha-linolenic acid in CEs was an indicator of the use of low erucic acid rapeseed oil, which was the main source of monoenes in the monoene-enriched-diet group. Expand
Fatty acid composition of serum cholesterol esters , and erythrocyte and platelet membranes as indicators of long-term adherence to fat-modified diets 13
Dietary adherence to four different fat-modifled diets was examined in 160 subjects by determining the fatty acid composition of serum cholesterol esters (CEs) and erythnocyte (ER) and platelet (PT)… Expand
Long-term storage of red blood cells and correlations between red cell and dietary fatty acids: results from a pilot study.
TLDR
It is concluded that frozen RBCs may be a useful measure of recent dietary intake for epidemiological studies because of strong positive correlations between RBC and dietary fatty acids, including oleic, linoleic (18:2n-6), total n-6, and the polyunsaturated-to-saturated fat ratio. Expand
The relationship between the phospholipid fatty acid composition of red blood cells, plasma lipids, and apolipoproteins.
TLDR
Findings emphasize the beneficial effect on atherosclerotic risk markers of dietary n-6 polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, and suggest that long-chain n-3 polyuns saturated fatty acids (DHA) could have an adverse effect on some of the lipid risk markers. Expand
Parenteral nutrition using MCT/LCT or LCT: Effect on the fatty acid composition of plasma triglycerides and platelet phospholipids.

  • Medicine
  • Clinical nutrition
  • 1992
TLDR
Compared in 20 malnourished patients before and after 8-10 days of total parenteral nutrition, short term use of MCT/LCT emulsion may correct the fatty acid changes of malnutrition rather more slowly and results in a different fatty acid profile to that seen after LCT use. Expand
Platelet hyperreactivity in hyperlipidaemia with specific reference to platelet lipids and fatty acid composition.

  • Chemistry, Medicine
  • Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry
  • 1992
TLDR
Levels of arachidonic acid were significantly higher in phosphatidylinositol (PI) of HL patients, which may be an additional mechanism for the well documented platelet hyperfunction and greater TXB2 production in hyperlipidaemic subjects. Expand
The composition of red cell membrane phospholipids in Canadian Inuit consuming a diet high in marine mammals
TLDR
The analyses suggest that the fatty acid composition of the Inuit red cell phospholipids are primarily a reflection of their diet-fat composition. Expand

Composition of phospholipids and of phospholipid fatty acids of human plasma.
TLDR
The high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids found in plasma lysolecithin suggests that this phospholipid did not arise entirely through the enzymatic cleavage of the -fatty acid of leCithin, although some marked differences in individual fatty acid levels between the corresponding phospholips of plasma and red cells were evident. Expand
The effect of diet on the phospholipid composition of the red blood cells of man
TLDR
Red cells from subjects on a diet rich in corn oil were found to contain higher levels of linoleic acid in the lecithin and phosphatidyl serine fractions, and lower levels of oleic acid In the leCithin fraction, and it is probable that these alterations represent the result of highly specific exchanges with plasma fatty acids. Expand
Modification of human platelet function by a diet enriched in saturated or polyunsaturated fat.
TLDR
Results indicate that platelets may be activated in apparently normal people consuming a SF diet and that this activation may be decreased by replacement of dietary SF with PUF. Expand
Platelet functions in relation to diet and serum lipids in British farmers.
TLDR
In this study, platelet functions were more dependent upon the dietary factors associated with coronary heart disease such as saturated fats, calcium, and alcohol than upon serum lipids. Expand
Effect of a diet low in saturated fatty acids on plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and HDL subfractions.
TLDR
It is concluded that a low-fat, high-P/S ratio diet lowers LDL and HDL2 cholesterol in healthy volunteers, but does not influence the level of HDL3 subfraction. Expand
The effect of aspirin and linoleic acid on platelet aggregation, platelet fatty acid composition and haemostasis in man.
TLDR
The Wellcome whole blood aggregometer is a sensitive test of platelet function and linoleic acid has been shown to reduce aggregation in conjunction with an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acid content of the platelet membrane. Expand
Influence of dietary fats on atherosclerosis, coagulation and platelet phospholipids in rabbits.
TLDR
Butter was the only fat able to induce severe alterations at the same time in coagulation (presumably through an increase in the activity of certain platelet phospholipids), lipemia and arterial wall morphology. Expand
Relationship between Fatty‐Acid Composition of Platelets and Platelet Aggregation in Rat and Man: RELATION TO THROMBOSIS
TLDR
In both the rat and man, a high thrombotic tendency may be associated with a platelet hypersusceptibility to thrombin which, in turn, is related to changes in fatty-acid composition. Expand
Red blood cell fatty acid composition in a sample of Italian middle-aged men on free diet.
TLDR
A negative correlation was observed between erythrocyte linoleic/oleic ratio and plasma cholesterol levels, which gives indirect support to the validity of this ratio as an index of adherence to cholesterol-lowering diets in long-term studies. Expand
EFFECTS OF 11-WEEK INCREASE IN DIETARY EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID ON BLEEDING TIME, LIPIDS, AND PLATELET AGGREGATION
TLDR
A diet rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids reduces the interaction between platelets and the vessel wall by mechanisms which are more complex than just a reduction in susceptibility of platelets to the naturally occurring agents collagen and ADP, or an imbalance between proaggregatory and anti-aggRegatory prostaglandin derivatives.
