Modification of the type of dietary fat at an Antarctic station: impact on cardiovascular risk factors

The principle aims of this nutrition project were to examine the effectiveness of dietary goals in practice and to compare MUFA and PUFA in terms of improvement of lipid and lipoprotein profiles and dietary acceptance. This project was undertaken at Davis station, Princess Elizabeth Land, Antarctica. Thirty expeditioners, all members of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition's (ANARE) 1989 wintering expedition, acted as subjects in the study.

The subjects were all fit and healthy men and women on no medication. The fields in this dataset include: Cholesterol Energy Fat Protein Carbohydrate Alcohol SFA MUFA PUFA Change in TC level Change in LDL-C level Date Dietary Period Nutrient Post Dietary Period Analysis Control Stations Mean station Levels + SEM (mmol/L) HDL-C+SEM LDL-C+SEM LDL-C / HDLC Mean Triglyceride Levels Mean Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase Fatty Acid Class (Mean % of total) Week Weight Skinfold Waist/hip Ratio Blood Pressure
