Key result

A standardised fatty meal significantly increased Mac-1 expression (from 32.2% to 45.6%, p=0.0016) and decreased intracellular MPO (from 83.1% to 64.5%, p<0.0001) at 2 hours.

Why the study?

Does a standardised fatty meal induce an acute inflammatory response in subjects at different degrees of cardiovascular risk?

Population

61 subjects at different degree of cardiovascular risk, without any clinical event

Comparison

Standardised fatty meal administration vs Baseline (before the fatty meal)

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

2 hours

Overview

Acute postprandial inflammation seen across risk levels; hypothesis-generating and should not yet alter dietary advice.

Study Design

Type

Observational (n=61)

Structured PICO

Does a standardised fatty meal induce an acute inflammatory response in subjects at different degrees of cardiovascular risk?

P
Population
61 subjects at different degrees of cardiovascular risk, without any clinical event, evaluated before and 2 hours after a standardised fatty meal.
E
Exposure
Standardised fatty meal administration
C
Comparator
Baseline (before the fatty meal)
O
Outcome
Changes in blood cell counts and markers of leukocyte (intracellular myeloperoxidase [MPO] and Mac-1) and platelet (P-selectin and microparticles) activation and mixed platelet-leukocyte conjugates at 2 hourssurrogate

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 45.6% vs 32.2%

p-value: p=0.0016

A standardised fatty meal induces an acute inflammatory response characterized by leukocyte and platelet activation, which is modulated by baseline cardiovascular risk and demographic factors.

Limitations

  • The clinical relevance of this model remains to be demonstrated.

Cite This Study

Tamburrelli et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular risk (n=61). Standardised fatty meal vs. Baseline (before meal) was evaluated on Mac-1 expression (p=0.0016). A standardised fatty meal significantly increased Mac-1 expression (from 32.2% to 45.6%, p=0.0016) and decreased intracellular MPO (from 83.1% to 64.5%, p<0.0001) at 2 hours.
