Abstract:
Saturated fatty acid with 12-16 carbon and trans- monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) have stimulating effects while polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and cis-MUFA have inhibiting effects on atherogenesis. Besides, n-3 PUFA shows its effective antithrombogenesis. For the prevention of cardiovascular disease in Vietnamese people, the indices of atherogenesis and thrombogenesis, as well as the n-6/n-3 ratio of Vietnamese diet had better to be recommended to reduce by higher consumption of fishes, vegetable oils rich in n-3, algae and plankton.
