Effect of fat ingestion on postprandial oxidative status in healthy young women: a pilot study

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and highly reactive (hROS) secreted by leukocytes are crucial to innate immunity; however, they pose a risk of oxidative stress. To monitor their balance in daily health check-ups, optical technologies for the simultaneous measurement ROS (superoxide radicals) hROS (hypochlorite ions) that utilize only few microliters whole blood have been developed. The aim this study was clarify whether system could assess effects fat ingestion on postprandial status. Eight healthy young Japanese women ingested beverage containing oral tolerance test cream. Blood samples were collected before 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 h after ingestion. levels, stress markers, biochemical markers monitored. Consistent with previous studies, triglyceride levels significantly increased at 4 (p < 0.01) returned near-baseline peaked 2 0.05), 1 0.05) This offers an insight into acute leukocyte activity provides methodology monitoring
