| Popis: | Fatty acid profile in plasma was examined in 12 adult vegetarians (lacto and lacto-ovo) aged 41-63 years with an average period of vegetarian nutrition of 9.8 years. Difference in the content of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids in vegetarians was insignificant (compared to non-vegetarians). Positive factor of vegetarian nutritional habit with respect to atherosclerosis included significantly elevated content of linoleic acid (C 18 : 2) and linolenic acid (C 18 : 3), as well as unchanged or only slightly reduced content of polyunsaturated fatty acids - arachidonic acid (C 20 :4) and docosahexaenoic acid (C 22 :6, n = 3). Favourable values of prooxidative-antioxidative parameters (significantly reduced content of conjugated dienes of fatty acids in plasma, significantly higher plasma levels of vitamin C, β-carotene, vitamin E/cholesterol - indicator of LDL protection and vitamin E/triacylglycerols - indicator of fatty acid protection) demonstrated a reduced risk of lipoperoxidation in vegetarians. |
