[HTML][HTML] Dietary flavonoids reduce lipid peroxidation in rats fed polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat diets

We investigated the influence of dietary flavonoids on α-tocopherol status and LDL
peroxidation in rats fed diets enriched in either polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) or
monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). Diets equalized for α-tocopherol concentrations were
or were not supplemented with 8 g/kg diet of flavonoids (quercetin+ catechin, 2: 1). After 4
wk of feeding, plasma lipid concentrations were lower in rats fed PUFA than in those fed
MUFA with a significant correlation between plasma α-tocopherol and cholesterol …
