Abstract excerpt
Dietary intervention studies (from a low polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratio P/S diet to a high P/S diet), carried out on a group of healthy individuals from North Karelia, Eastern Finland between 1981-1984, provided evidence that there may be a genetic component contributing to variation in response to dietary change. We have resampled blood from 107 individuals involved in the original studies and used...
