The researchers also found that while participants may not have a measurable
decrease in their visual acuity, their reported reduced visual function may possibly be the result of
contrast sensitivity associated with early - stage AMD.
In a randomized clinical trial of 162 healthy persons, no differences in insulin
sensitivity were observed between persons consuming saturated fat — enriched or monounsaturated fat — enriched diets when total fat intake represented > 37 % of total energy; in
contrast, in persons who consumed lower total fat intakes, saturated fat led to
decreased insulin
sensitivity compared with monounsaturated fat (116).
