It is possible to establish atherosclerosis in rabbits by feeding semi-synthetic diets that are high in carbohydrate and saturated fat and devoid of cholesterol. Addition of saturated fat to laboratory chow does not render the chow atherogenic. When rabbits were fed diets which differ only in the
The relationship of carbohydrate type to cholesterol-induced hypercholesterolemia and the potential role of intestinal flora in the above process were examined in 12 male cynomolgus monkeys (M. fascicularis). Semipurified diets provided two types of carbohydrates (starch or sucrose, 49% by calorie)
High carbohydrate, low fat diets decrease plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (apoB) mass in normal subjects and in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). To investigate the mechanisms for these effects, four normal, four FH heterozygous, and one FH
BACKGROUND
Hypercholesterolemia is a serious diseases associated with type-2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disorders and liver diseases. Humans seek for safe herbal medication such as karela (Momordica charantia/bitter melon) to treat such disorders to avoid side effect of
BACKGROUND
Little is known about the comparative effect of weight-loss diets on metabolic profiles during dieting.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a low-carbohydrate diet (< or =20 g/d) with a high-carbohydrate diet (55% of total energy intake) on fasting and hourly
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the health effects of a high carbohydrate, low fat multi-cultural traditional diet, The Hawaii Diet, fed ad libitum to an adult population.
METHODS
Twenty-two adults recruited from various cultural backgrounds in Hawaii were fed, without calorie
The transport of sodium ions and glucose is a specialized membrane function. Variations in the cholesterol content of the cell membrane influence these functions. The influence of a hypercholesterolemia upon the intracellular sodium concentration and the glucose tolerance was investigated in
Stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1-deficient (SCD1(-/-)) mice have impaired MUFA synthesis. When maintained on a very low-fat (VLF) diet, SCD1(-/-) mice developed severe hypercholesterolemia, characterized by an increase in apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins and the appearance of
