Objectives:

Preliminary results from a previous study “The Canola Oil Multicenter Intervention Trial (COMIT)” showed a significant positive correlation between five unsaturated fatty acids consumption and reduction of inflammatory biomarkers. This project will expand on the original COMIT study to address more questions providing a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms and cardioprotective effects of each of the oils.
