Oleic-acid-rich diets may enhance endothelial function in type 2 diabetes; leaves open clinical outcome benefits and should not yet change practice.
Does an oleic-acid-rich diet improve insulin resistance and endothelium-dependent vasoreactivity in type 2 diabetic patients?
Switching from a polyunsaturated to a monounsaturated (oleic-acid-rich) diet in type 2 diabetes reduces insulin resistance and restores endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, offering a mechanistic explanation for the cardiovascular benefits of a Mediterranean diet.
