Effectiveness of Sacha Inchi Supplementation on Postprandial Inflammation

The postprandial state increases triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels, promoting cellular lipids accumulation, insulin resistance, increased inflammatory markers and the formation of foam cells, a situation that can have different effects depending the type of dietary fat and presence of metabolic conditions such as abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. Given that the diet of the Colombian population is rich in saturated fats, and taking into consideration the general resistance to complex dietary changes, the purpose of this study is to evaluate whether Sacha Inchi oil supplementation of a high-fat meal is effective in reducing levels of biochemical markers of cardiovascular risk in adults with and without abdominal obesity.
