The Investigation of Effect on Blood Lipid Parameters With Walnut Addition of Diet

Primary outcomes

1. Blood from the participants was collected before and at the end of the study. Later in this study, sdLDL levels of blood taken from participants were measured by the Elisa method.

   Time frame: Within research completion, an average of 2 week

   It can be said that walnut consumption reduces the risk of CAD. In 30% of patients taking cholesterol-lowering drugs, cholesterol parameters may drop to the desired levels and severe vascular lesions still may occur. Also, individuals with normal LDL values may have cardiovascular diseases. Findings are suggesting that in these individuals, the prevalence of CAD is higher due to sdLDL positivity. sdLDL passes through the endothelial barrier easier and is exposed to oxidation more than LDL, which is larger and lower in density. Therefore is atherogenic.

2. Blood from the participants was collected before and at the end of the study. Later, the serum lipids of the blood taken from the participants consuming walnuts were measured in the hospital.

   Time frame: The first day of the research and the end day (3 weeks later) were analyzed.

   It can be said that walnut consumption reduces the risk of CAD. The fact that walnuts contain fatty acids can be shown as a reason for their beneficial effect on blood lipid levels. We can attribute this to the fact that walnuts contain high levels of unsaturated and low levels of saturated fatty acids. In various studies, the walnut-enriched diet has been reported to reduce TC, LDL, and TG
