Effects of 3-month Mediterranean-type diet on postprandial TAG and apolipoprotein B48 in the Medi-Rivage cohort

Objective To determine the postprandial lipaemia response before and after intervention with healthy diets in the Medi-RIVAGE cohort of subjects with moderate risk factors of CVD. Design One hundred and thirty-five adults (fifty-two men and eighty-three women) followed either a Mediterranean-type (MED) diet or a low-fat American Heart Association-type diet in a parallel design for 3 months. At entry and after 3 months, lipids, glucose and insulin were measured in the fasting samples; TAG and apolipoprotein B48 (ApoB48; a marker of intestinally derived chylomicrons) levels were measured in the fasting and postprandial samples after a standard test meal. Results The MED diet only lowered ( P 25 kg/m 2 showed reduced postprandial ApoB48. Men and women displayed comparable postprandial changes after dietary challenges. Conclusions A MED diet appears efficient to improve postprandial lipaemia, a recently acknowledged CVD risk, in men and women at moderate cardiovascular risk
