Figure 4 Effects of myristic <strong>and</strong> palmitic acids on plasma total, LDL cholesterol, HDL<br />

cholesterol, <strong>and</strong> triacylglycerol concentrations relative to those of cis-monounsaturated fatty<br />

acids (oleic acid). Thirty-six women <strong>and</strong> 23 men received three mixed natural diets, each for<br />

3 weeks, in r<strong>and</strong>om order. The composition of the diets was identical, except for 10% of<br />

daily energy intake, which was provided as myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), or<br />

oleic acid (cis-C18:1) [12].<br />

Figure 5 Effects of palmitic <strong>and</strong> stearic acids on plasma total, LDL cholesterol, HDL<br />

cholesterol, <strong>and</strong> triacylglycerol concentrations relative to those of cis-monounsaturated fatty<br />

acids (oleic acid). Eleven men received three liquid-formula diets, each for 3 weeks, in r<strong>and</strong>om<br />

order. The composition of the diets was identical, except for 16% of daily energy intake,<br />

which was provided as palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), or oleic acid (cis-C18:1)<br />
