In a randomized crossover study, ten healthy adults consumed low‑carbohydrate (4%) and high‑carbohydrate (58%) test meals following a controlled diet. Blood samples collected over 9.5 hours showed that low‑carbohydrate meals produced significantly higher postprandial triacylglycerols, saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and non‑esterified fatty acids, along with lower insulin concentrations. Polyunsaturated fatty acids did not differ between diets. These findings suggest that low‑carbohydrate meals may acutely elevate postprandial lipids, potentially contributing to long‑term cardiovascular risk. 000000558 540__ $$fCC BY 000000558 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000558 650__ $$aFatty Acids$$018911 000000558 650__ $$aTriglycerides$$027376 000000558 650__ $$aHyperlipidemias$$020514 000000558 650__ $$aDiet$$017776 000000558 650__ $$aDiet, Carbohydrate-Restricted$$036410 000000558 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000558 692__ $$aGraduate Programs in Human Nutrition$$041470 000000558 7001_ $$aBergman, Sarah$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000558 8564_ $$980b567b1-5a76-445f-ae28-ada55032b430$$s1332167$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/558/files/559_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2ff4c1a91656fd9dd1bcd5dad302eed49$$31 000000558 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
