Plasma lipids, erythrocyte membrane lipids and blood pressure of hypertensive women after ingestion of dietary oleic acid from two different sources

Abstract

These data suggest that the beneficial effects of dietary olive oil on the plasma lipids and lipoprotein profile, lipid and fatty acid composition of erythrocyte membrane, and blood pressure in women with untreated essential hypertension are not found equally for the HOSO-rich diet, despite both vegetable oils providing a similar concentration of MUFA.
