Background: The type of dietary fatty acid may have different effects on obesity and its complications, however, these effects can be influenced by genes and polymorphisms, such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ isoform 2 (PPARγ2). Moreover, it is unclear whether the degree of unsaturation of the fat has different effects on lipid and glucose metabolism, and particularly the loss of body weight. Objective: To evaluate the influence of diets rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) on anthropometric and biochemical variables in obese woman with genotype Pro12Pro on PPARγ2 gene on body weight, glycemic and lipemic profile. Methods: Eighteen obese women with Pro12Pro genotype in PPARγ2 gene were randomized into groups to receive a high PUFAs (PUFA-diet, n = 8) or MUFAs (MUFA-diet, n = 10) diets. Anthropometrics (body mass index [BMI] and waist circumference) and biochemical variables (glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides) were evaluated at baseline and after 45 days. Results: Anthropometric and biochemical variables were similar between groups at baseline and after intervention (p > 0.05). BMI decrease only in PUFA-diet (p = 0.01), probably due to the lower lipid content in this diet. MUFA-diet decrease fasting glucose (p = 0.03), insulin (p = 0.03), and HOMA-IR (p = 0.02). Conclusion: Compared to PUFA, MUFA was more efficient to reduce the insulin resistance in obese women with Pro12Pro genotype in PPARγ2, even in high saturated fatty acids and total fat diet.
