Chitosan treatment results in significantly lower serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations. To assess the working mechanisms of chitosan, we measured serum surrogate markers of cholesterol absorption (campesterol, sitosterol, cholestanol), synthesis (lathosterol, lanosterol,
BACKGROUND
The rise in LDL with egg feeding in lean insulin-sensitive (LIS) participants is 2- and 3-fold greater than in lean insulin-resistant (LIR) and obese insulin-resistant (OIR) participants, respectively.
OBJECTIVE
We determined whether differences in cholesterol absorption, synthesis, or
Cholesterol synthesis is upregulated and absorption downregulated in insulin resistance and in type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether alterations in cholesterol metabolism are observed across the glucose tolerance status, from normoglycemia through impaired glucose tolerance to type 2 diabetes, in
Role of enterohepatic cholesterol metabolism in obesity-induced increase of cholesterol synthesis was studied in healthy lean (BMI <24) and overweight (BMI >31) subjects by measuring serum lipids (including plant sterols, cholestanol and cholesterol precursors), cholesterol absorption %
BACKGROUND
Weight reduction in obese type 2 diabetes increases the absorption efficiency of cholesterol and serum plant sterol levels from baseline. However, there is no information on the effects of acute restriction of calories and lack of dietary cholesterol and plant sterols on serum cholesterol
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the impact of visceral obesity on cholesterol metabolism in normoglycemic offspring of patients with type 2 diabetes.
METHODS
The proportion of intra-abdominal fat (IAF) was measured by abdominal computer tomography, and serum cholesterol synthesis and absorption markers
OBJECTIVE
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with impaired glucose and lipoprotein metabolism. However, the metabolism of cholesterol in NAFLD remains unexplored. We investigated how fatty liver influences cholesterol metabolism in 242 non-diabetic subjects.
METHODS
Liver fat
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the Nation's leading killer for both men and women among all racial and ethnic groups. Development and progression of CVD is linked to the presence of risk factors such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes mellitus. It is known that cholesterol is an
Changes in the microbiota composition have been implicated in the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, not much is known on the involvement of gut microbiota in lipid and cholesterol metabolism. In addition, the gut microbiota might also be a potential source of plasma oxyphytosterol
BACKGROUND
Lipoprotein distribution of non-cholesterol sterols was studied to evaluate in which lipoproteins they are carried in type 2 diabetes with body weight ranging from normal to overweight.
METHODS
Serum and lipoprotein squalene and non-cholesterol sterols were quantitated with gas-liquid
To evaluate whether parameters of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) associate with cholesterol metabolism before and after weight reduction, 42 middle-aged overweight subjects with mild OSA were randomised to intensive lifestyle intervention (N = 23) or to control group (N = 18) with routine lifestyle
NIDDM and the metabolic syndrome are characterized by a low serum, HDL cholesterol content and a high triglyceride level, whereas total and LDL cholesterol concentrations are not necessarily elevated. Variable results have been reported on cholesterol absorption, elimination, and synthesis in NIDDM,
BACKGROUND
Components of the metabolic syndrome such as hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and obesity have been shown to be associated with increased cholesterol synthesis and reduced cholesterol absorption. In the present study, we measured the
BACKGROUND
Visceral Fat Area (VFA) is an independent predictor of coronary disease. While low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is used to determine risk and guide therapy, its accuracy fails in obese patients who may have low LDL-C despite high VFA.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to describe the
Non-cholesterol sterols are validated biomarkers for intestinal cholesterol absorption and endogenous cholesterol synthesis. However, their use in metabolic disturbances has not been systematically explored. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to provide an overview of non-cholesterol
