    Abstract:
    The composition of fatty acids in a diet may differentially affect metabolism, thus playing a role in the development of obesity. Our aim was to study the effects of three high-fat (HF) meals with different degrees of saturation on diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) and substrate oxidation in premenopausal women of normal weight. Fifteen healthy, normal-weight women, aged 18-35 years, participated in a randomized cross-over study, in which they consumed isocaloric HF meals (70% of energy from fat) rich in saturated fat (SFA; 40% of total energy), monounsaturated fat (MUFA; 42% of total energy) or polyunsaturated fat (PUFA; 42% of total energy). Indirect calorimetry was used to measure respiratory gases for a 5 h postprandial period. The data collected were used to determine respiratory exchange ratio for assessing substrate oxidation, as well as energy expenditure for the determination of DIT. The area under the curve for DIT following the PUFA-rich HF meal was greater than that of the SFA- or MUFA-rich HF meals [10.0 ± 0.7, 8.6 ± 0.8 and 8.9 ± 1.2 kcal (5 h)(-1) (P = 0.02) for PUFA, MUFA and SFA, respectively]. No significant difference was found in respiratory exchange ratio (0.86 ± 0.01, 0.85 ± 0.01 and 0.85 ± 0.01 for PUFA-, MUFA- and SFA-rich HF meals, respectively) or substrate utilization following the three different HF meals (12.2 ± 1.0, 11.2 ± 0.5 and 11.6 ± 0.9 g for cumulative postprandial carbohydrate oxidation following the PUFA-, MUFA- and SFA-rich HF meals, respectively; and 3.8 ± 0.4, 4.1 ± 0.2 and 4.1 ± 0.3 g for cumulative fat oxidation of the PUFA-, MUFA- and SFA-rich HF meals, respectively). In conclusion, acute ingestion of a PUFA-rich HF meal induced a greater DIT in normal-weight women compared with SFA- or MUFA-rich HF meals. No significant differences were found for substrate utilization.
