Differential Associations of Erythrocyte Membrane Saturated Fatty Acids with Glycemic and Lipid Metabolic Markers in a Chinese Population: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: Mounting evidence indicates a complex link between circulating saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, but research on erythrocyte membrane SFA associations with metabolic markers remains limited. Our study sought to investigate the correlations between erythrocyte membrane SFAs and key metabolic markers within glycemic and lipid metabolism in a Chinese population of 798 residents aged 41 to 71 from Guangzhou. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, we assessed the erythrocyte membrane saturated fatty acid profile and performed multiple linear regression to evaluate the relationship between different SFA subtypes and metabolic markers. Our findings revealed that the odd-chain SFA group (C15:0 + C17:0) exhibited negative associations with fasting bloo
