Circulating omega-7 fatty acids are differentially related to metabolic dysfunction and incident type II diabetes: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).

CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that plasma vaccenic acid and palmitoleic acid are markers of metabolic health and dysfunction, respectively. Coupled with previous evidence and the significant race interactions, our findings have implications for future studies of the race-based differences in omega-7 fatty acids and their regulation in the context of deteriorating metabolic health.
