Nutrition, insulin resistance and dysfunctional adipose tissue determine the different components of metabolic syndrome

Figure 6 Prevalence of metabolic syndrome after 12-wk of diet assignment. HFSFA is a high fat diet rich in saturated fat and HFMUFA is a high fat diet rich in monounsaturated fat. LFHC-control is a low-fat, high complex carbohydrate diet and LFHC n-3 is a low-fat, high complex carbohydrate diet supplemented with 1.24 g/d of very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (VLC n-3 PUFA). χ² test, P < 0.05)[261]. MetS: Metabolic syndrome; HFSFA: High fat diets rich in saturated fat; HFMUFA: High fat diets rich in monounsaturated fat; PUFA: Polyunsaturated fatty acids.
