Beneficial Effect of Increased Dietary Linoleate upon in vivo Platelet Function in Man¹

St. Vincent's Hospital, Montclair, New Jersey 07042

The effect of increasing dietary linoleate upon in vivo platelet aggregation and disaggregation in 20 males and 46 female adult humans was studied. Increasing exogenous linoleate for 2 weeks from 2.89 ± 0.11 to 5.00 ± 0.26% of energy was associated with the doubling of the aggregation time and halving of the disaggregation time. Decreasing dietary linoleate in the following 2-week feeding period was associated with a reversal of the effect.

KEY WORDS: • platelet function • dietary linoleate • serum cholesterol • serum triglycerides
