OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of teaseed oil on triglyceride and weight in hypertriglyceridemic subjects. METHODS: Twenty-five hypertriglyceridemic subjects were enrolled in the study. All subjects were required to ingest 25-30 g/d of the teaseed oil as cooking oil for 8 consecutive weeks. The height, body weight, BMI and the serum oleic acid (OA), total triglyceride (TG) , total cholesterol (TC) , blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in hypertriglyceridemic subjects were measured. The daily total energy, macronutrients intake and activity level were recorded at the beginning and ending of the study. RESULTS: Twenty-one subjects completed the study. As compared to data at the beginning, the levels of OA in serum and dietary intakes of OA, monounsaturated fatty acids significantly increased. Polyunsaturated fatty acids intake and body weight, BMI decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: Teaseed oil could increase the serum levels of OA and reduce weight and BMI in the hypertriglyceridemic subjects with stable dietary intake and exercise.
