Background and aim: In an animal model VLDL-triglyceride secretion is highly dependent on stearoyl-coA desaturase (SCD) activity and could explain abdominal fattening. The aim was to assess the relationship of plasma palmitoleic acid content, a product of SCID activity, with triglyceridemia and abdominal adiposity in humans.Methods: We evaluated 134 healthy men. Plasma palmitoleic acid content was used as an indirect measurement of SCID activity because that enzyme catalyzes the desaturation from saturated to monounsaturated fatty acids and palmitoleic acid intake is very small.Results: Subjects with triglycerides >= 75th percentile had a higher palmitoleic acid content than those with triglycerides
