This research project aims to investigate the ability of polyunsaturated fatty acids to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Results available.
This research project aims to investigate how monounsaturated fats act to lower LDL cholesterol and whether increasing consumption of these alters the body's ability to deal with dietary fat.
Results available.
This research project aims to investigate the effect of monounsaturated fats on the risk of heart disease.
Results available.
This research project aims to investigate the effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids on human health.
Results available.
This research project aims to examine the effects of a diet enriched with alpha-linolenic acid on risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Results available.
This research project aims to investigate the relationship between polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin E and cardiovascular disease.
Results available.
This research project aims to investigate the effect of supplementing the diet with alpha-linolenic acid on cardiovascular disease.
Results available.
This research project aims to compare the effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (found in fish oils) to omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (found in vegetable oils) on cardiovascular health.
Results available.
This research project aims to develop a new method for evaluating the types of lipoproteins in blood that can be used in a routine laboratory.
Results available.
This research project aims to investigate the effect of different types of saturated fats on cardiovascular health.
Results available.
These research projects aim to investigate the optimal proportion of different types of polyunsaturated fatty acids for cardiovascular health.
Results available.
This research project aims to investigate interactions between food constituents (mainly fatty acids), dietary fat to carbohydrate ratios and physiological responses that may underlie the development of chronic diseases.
This research project aims to examine the effect of changes in consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids on health.
Results available.
This research project aims to identify the optimal consumption of fat for individuals with an inherited increased risk of cardiovascular disease in order to reduce this risk.
This research project aims to investigate the effect of fish oil consumption on cardiovascular health.
This research project aims to investigate the effect of fruit and vegetable consumption on cardiovascular health.
This research investigates the effect of fruit and vegetable consumption on cardiovascular health.
This research project aims to investigate the impact of the types and amounts of fat and carbohydrates consumed on cardiovascular disease risk.
This research project aims to carry out a detailed analysis of data in order to investigate the relationship between salt and blood pressure.
This research project aims to investigate the effects of modest salt reduction on blood pressure and target organ damage in patients with untreated essential hypertension.
This research project aims to investigate the effects of whole grain foods on cardiovascular disease risk, as determined by measures of recognised bio-markers of disease risk.
This research project is a randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of incremental increases in consumption of whole grain foods on the risk of cardiovascular disease.
This research project will assess whether the consumption of tomato-based food affects recognised biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in volunteers at high risk of CVD.
This research project is designed to provide a sound basis for dietary advice on the types and levels of fruit and vegetable consumption required to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease in the general UK population and 'at risk' subgroups.
