Key result
Study evaluates long-term corn oil supplementation effects on serum fatty acid patterns in ischemic heart disease.
Why the study?
There have been comparatively few reports on the effects of various dietary fatty acids on the fatty acid patterns of plasma or serum lipids in adequate numbers of patients over long periods.
Observational
Since Groen et al. (1952) reported on the ability of various dietary fats to influence serum cholesterol levels, many workers have shown thatdiets rich in unsaturated fatty acids can lower the cholesterol and triglyceride levels of the plasma or serum (Kinsell et al., 1952;Malmros and Wigand, 1957;Keys et al., 1957;Ahrens et al., 1959;Antonis and Bersohn, 1961), but there have been com- paratively few reports on the effects of various dietary fatty acids on the fatty acid patterns of the plasma or serum lipids based on the study of adequate numbers of patients over sufficiently long periods.The present study was undertaken to determine the effect on the fatty acid patterns of the cholesterol ester, triglyceride, and phospholipid fractions of serum, of a diet rich in unsaturated fatty acids taken for more than a year.

Lawrie et al. (1962) conducted an observational in Ischaemic heart disease. Corn oil supplements (diet rich in unsaturated fatty acids) was evaluated on Fatty acid patterns of the cholesterol ester, triglyceride, and phospholipid fractions of serum. The abstract describes the rationale to investigate the effect of corn oil supplements on serum fatty acid patterns in ischaemic heart disease over more than a year, without reporting specific results.
