This article discusses the major food sources of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). The role of MUFA in the modification of cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. blood lipids, blood pressure, endothelial function, thrombosis and haemostasis, obesity) is described. The results of major epidemiological studies and trials assessing the role of MUFA intake on cardiovascular disease and mortality are reviewed.
