Palm Olein and Olive Oil Cause a Higher Increase in Postprandial Lipemia Compared with Lard but Had No Effect on Plasma Glucose, Insulin and Adipocytokines

Postprandial lipemia impairs insulin sensitivity and triggers the pro‐inflammatory state which may lead to the progression of cardiovascular diseases. A randomized, crossover single‐blind study ( n = 10 healthy men) was designed to compare the effects of a high‐fat load (50 g fat), rich in palmitic acid from both plant (palm olein) or animal source (lard) versus an oleic acid‐rich fat (virgin olive oil) on lipemia, plasma glucose, insulin and...
