Abstract
En 中文
Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) are dietary fats characterized by a single unsaturated carbon bond. Commonly found in olive oil, avocados, and nuts, MUFAs play a vital role in human health. In a previous nutrition note1, Mashek and Wu summarized the essential aspects of MUFAs, highlighting their food sources, health benefits, and potential toxic effects, specifically regarding liver outcomes. Ten years later, this update summarizes the impact of MUFAs on cardiovascular outcomes and their application within the broader dietary landscape. Specifically, it emphasizes the importance of food sources, noting the distinct health implications of plant-based versus animal-based MUFAs, and the influence of overall diet composition.
