30 Day PUFA Depletion Study
14 Day PUFA Depletion Study
>15% Fat Depletes PUFA Study
All of these studies show that PUFA depletion can be accomplished relatively quickly with fat restriction over a period ranging from 14-31 days. In one of the studies, PUFA repletion occurred from a single high-PUFA meal after radically lowering PUFA stores.
Two questions: Is the PUFA depletion reflected in the adipose tissue, making the fat-restriction experiments equal in all senses to the recommended 2-4 year PUFA restriction?
Does this mean that even after 2-4 years of PUFA depletion that a single high-PUFA meal will saturate adipose tissues as in the 31 day depletion experiment?
I'm sure that I'm missing something here, so I will continue re-reading the study. Any assistance in understanding this would be greatly appreciated.
