Intake of food rich in saturated fat in relation to subclinical atherosclerosis and potential modulating effects from single genetic variants

Abstract The relationship between intake of saturated fats and subclinical atherosclerosis, as well as the possible influence of genetic variants, is poorly understood and investigated. We aimed to investigate this relationship, with a hypothesis that it would be positive, and to explore whether gen...
