Rapeseed Oil Inhibits The Clusters Associated with Metabolic Syndrome

A dietary pattern is the measurement of the quantity, variety, or combination of different foods and beverages in a diet, as well as the frequency of the foods, are habitually consumed.

Most common dietary patterns are
* The traditional diet, Wikipedia wrote, "Traditional foods are foods and dishes that are passed through generations or which have been consumed many generations. Traditional foods and dishes are traditional in nature, and may have a historic precedent in a national dish, regional cuisine or local cuisine".

* The Western diet is a standard American diet (SAD) associated with high intakes of red meat, processed meat, pre-packaged and refined foods, fried foods, high-fat dairy products, high salt, and sugar.foods.

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions associated with the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

The health problems found in the group include too much fat around the waist, elevated blood pressure, high triglycerides, elevated blood sugar, and low HDL cholesterol.

In other words, if you have 3 of the conditions in the group, your risk of CVD and diabetes are increased substantially compared to those who have less.

According to the statistics, approximately 30% of people in the US are living with metabolic syndrome.

Believe it or not, among US adults aged 18 years or older, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome rose by more than 35% from 1988–1994 to 2007–2012, increasing from 25.3% to 34.2%.

Rapeseed, also known as rape, oilseed rape, is a member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family), cultivated in the suitable climate regions for its oil-rich seed for commercial profits.

On finding a potential compound for the prevention of heart disease, researchers at the University of Applied Sciences investigated the effects of a hypo energetic diet with low energy density (ED) enriched in rapeseed oil derived n-3 fatty acid α-linolenic acid (ALA), in patients with metabolic syndrome.

The human trial included eighty-one patients with metabolic syndrome randomly assigned to received either rapeseed oil derived high MUFA content and an ALA intake of 3.5 g/d on body weight or olive oil diet rich in MUFA, but with a low ALA content.

According to the results, after a 6-month dietary intervention, the rapeseed oil and olive oil groups showed a significant in reduced body weight and metabolic factors associated with cardiovascular risk.

In other words, intervention groups with rapeseed oil not only significantly decrease the systolic blood pressure, but also reduces total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, and insulin levels in patients with metabolic syndrome.


More interestingly, serum triglycerides (TAG) associated with cardiovascular and nonfatty liver disease risk factors were significantly reduced only in the high ALA intake, compared to no effect on the low ALA group.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "our dietary food pattern with a low ED and high intakes of MUFA and ALA may be a practical approach for long-term dietary treatment in patients with the metabolic syndrome".

Taken altogether, rapeseed oil may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
