Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to elucidate whether different dietary fatty acids (SFA, PUFA, butter fat and margarine fat) in a high fat load will have different effects on PBMC gene expression profiles. Secondary objectives are to elucidate the effects of these fat loads on individual plasma free fatty acid profiles, triglycerides and cholesterol levels.
