Cholesterol in platelet membranes can be modulated by dietary fatty acids and small changes in cholesterol content can have a more profound effect on platelet activation than substantial changes in the arachidonate level.

This prospective secondary prevention trial, commented on by McKeigue (Lancet 1995, 343:1445), is the first study suggesting that high levels of α-linolenic acid in diet reduce the incidence of secondary ischaemic events and mortality.

J Lipid Res 1994, 35:1773-1785. Evidence is presented that arterial endothelial cells become more susceptible to oxidative injury when exposed to large amounts of PUFAs, whereas oleic acid has a protective effect.
