Summary: Hyperlipidemia is known as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of canola oil with low-calorie diet on blood lipids in hyperlipidemic patients. The study was carried out on sixty hyperlipidemic patients of both sexes and age range of 25–65 years. The patients received low-calorie diet based on 5 857 KJ energy per day for 4 weeks, containing 29% fats, 17% proteins and 54% carbohydrates. In addition to the low-calorie diet, the intervention group received canola oil (30 g•d 1). Weight, body mass index, waist and hip circum¬ferences were significantly reduced (P < 0.05) after 4 weeks in both groups. Treatment with canola oil was associated with a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in serum triacylglycerols.

Keywords: canola oil; low-calorie diet; hyperlipidemia; serum lipids
