Effects of Diets Enriched in Saturated (Palmitic), Monounsaturated (Oleic), or <i>trans</i> (Elaidic) Fatty Acids on Insulin Sensitivity and Substrate Oxidation in Healthy Adults

Abstract

Dietary fatty acid composition significantly influenced fat oxidation but did not impact insulin sensitivity or secretion in lean individuals. Overweight individuals were more susceptible to developing insulin resistance on high-saturated fat diets.
