This proposal aims at improving the scientific basis upon which dietary recommendations for fat and fatty acids intake are made. The proposal seeks to determine whether diets enriched with olive oil have beneficial effects on the clearance of post-prandial lipoprotein particles. The study sets out to investigate two different population groups in relation to the response by one group to high MUFA intake.
