Abstract
Adverse changes in postprandial metabolism may promote the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) through a range of mechanisms. Since a large proportion of our day is spent in the postprandial state it is important to understand these post meal changes with respect to both the amount and type of nutrient consumed. Of particular importance appear to be the fatty meals, commonly eaten and which can induce significant postprandial lipaemia, accumulation of potentially atherogenic triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) remnants and formation of highly oxidisable small, dense low-density lipoproteins (LDL). In addition to these relatively well established lipaemic effects there is growing evidence that high-fat foods also have adverse effects on a number of the emerging CVD risk factors including haemostasis, mediators of inflammation and endothelial function. This review will consider the acute effects of high-fat feeding, investigating any differential effects of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, on postprandial lipaemic profile, haemostatic clotting factors fibrinogen and factor VII, acute phase C-reactive protein (C-RP), inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and vascular reactivity.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
