Postprandial lipaemia following consumption of a meal enriched with medium chain saturated and/or long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. A randomised cross-over study. Clin Nutr 2020; 40:420-427. [PMID: 32684486 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2020.06.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2020] [Revised: 05/22/2020] [Accepted: 06/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Postprandial lipaemic response has emerged as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Dietary fats such as medium-chain saturated fatty acids (MCSFA) and long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCn-3PUFA) are known to reduce postprandial lipaemic responses. The combination of the two could potentially have complementary and/or synergistic effects for optimising cardiovascular health. This study aims to investigate the effects of MCSFA (coconut oil) with or without LCn-3PUFA (fish oil) inclusion in the test meal on postprandial blood lipids in healthy adults. METHODS In a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, 2 × 2 factorial cross-over study, participants (n = 15) were randomised to receive four standardised isocaloric test meals. Test meals include: placebo [PL, containing no fish oil (0 g EPA & DHA) or coconut oil (0 g MCSFA)], fish oil [FO, 6 g fish oil (3.85 g EPA & DHA), containing no coconut oil (0 g MCSFA)], coconut oil [CO, 18.65 g coconut oil (15 g MCSFA), containing no fish oil (0 g EPA & DHA)] and coconut oil + fish oil [COFO, 18.65 g coconut oil (15 g MCSFA) + 6 g fish oil (3.85 g EPA & DHA)]; all providing a total fat content of 33.5 g. Participants received all four treatments on four separate test days with at least 3 days washout in between. Blood parameters were measured by finger pricks at 7 timepoints between 0 and 300min. The primary outcome of this study was the change in postprandial triglycerides (TG) concentrations with secondary outcomes as total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood glucose concentrations. RESULTS TG area under the curve (AUC) (mmol/L/min) was significantly lower for FO (383.67, p = 0.0125) and COFO (299.12, p = 0.0186) in comparison to PL (409.17) only. TG incremental area under the curve (iAUC) (mmol/L/min) was significantly lower with COFO (59.67) in comparison to CO (99.86), (p = 0.0480). Compared to PL, the change in absolute TG concentrations (mmol/L) from baseline to post TG peak time (180min) after FO were significantly less at 240min (0.39 vs 0.15), 270min (0.2 vs 0.1), and 300min (0.28 vs 0.06), and after COFO was significantly less at 300min (0.28 vs 0.16) (p < 0.05). No significant differences in postprandial AUC and iAUC for any other blood parameters were reported. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that LCn-3PUFA with or without MCSFA but not MCSFA alone are effective in reducing postprandial TG in healthy individuals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nutritional status has been implicated in the modulation of the immune response, possibly augmenting the pathogenesis of Chagas disease (Cd). We evaluated diet quality and nutritional status in adults and elderly patients with chronic Cd in a tertiary hospital. METHODS A case-control study of Cd patients was conducted, paired for gender, age, and co-morbidities with non-Cd patients. Anthropometric measurements and food frequency questionnaire was used, and diet quality was assessed by the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised (BHEI-R). The Estimated Average Requirement cut-off points were used to determine the dietary micronutrient adequacy. The Cd group was further grouped according to Los Andes classification. RESULTS The study participants were 67 ± 10 years old, 73.6% elderly and 63% female. The prevalence of overweight/obesity and abdominal fat was high in both groups; however, Cd group showed a lower prevalence of obesity and increased risk of disease according to waist circumference classification. There was no difference in BHEI-R score between groups (p=0.145). The Cd group had sodium and saturated fat intake above recommendations and low intake of unsaturated fat, vitamin D, E, selenium, magnesium, and dairy products; but higher intake of iron. According to Los Andes classification, group III presented lower intake of whole fruit and dietary fiber. CONCLUSIONS Patients with Cd were overweight and the quality of their diet was unsatisfactory based on the recommended diet components for age and sex.

Abstract
The effects of Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (TLC) diets, low and high in dietary fish, on apolipoprotein metabolism were examined. Subjects were provided with a Western diet for 6 weeks, followed by 24 weeks of either of two TLC diets (10/group). Apolipoprotein kinetics were determined in the fed state using stable isotope methods and compartmental modeling at the end of each phase. Only the high-fish diet decreased median triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) apoB-100 concentration (-23%), production rate (PR, -9%), and direct catabolism (-53%), and increased TRL-to-LDL apoB-100 conversion (+39%) as compared with the baseline diet (all P < 0.05). This diet also decreased TRL apoB-48 concentration (-24%), fractional catabolic rate (FCR, -20%), and PR (-50%) as compared with the baseline diet (all P < 0.05). The high-fish and low-fish diets decreased LDL apoB-100 concentration (-9%, -23%), increased LDL apoB-100 FCR (+44%, +48%), and decreased HDL apoA-I concentration (-15%, -14%) and PR (-11%, -12%) as compared with the baseline diet (all P < 0.05). On the high-fish diet, changes in TRL apoB-100 PR were negatively correlated with changes in plasma eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids. In conclusion, the high-fish diet decreased TRL apoB-100 and TRL apoB-48 concentrations chiefly by decreasing their PR. Both diets decreased LDL apoB-100 concentration by increasing LDL apoB-100 FCR and decreased HDL apoA-I concentration by decreasing HDL apoA-I PR.

Abstract
Dysfunctional lipid metabolism is a key component in the development of metabolic syndrome, a very frequent condition characterized by dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, abdominal obesity and hypertension, which are related to an elevated risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is strongly associated with the severity of obesity; its physiopathology is related to both genetics and food intake habits, especially the consumption of a high-caloric, high-fat and high-carbohydrate diet. With the progress of scientific knowledge in the field of nutrigenomics, it was possible to elucidate how the majority of dietary fatty acids influence plasma lipid metabolism and also the genes expression involved in lipolysis and lipogenesis within hepatocytes and adipocytes. The aim of this review is to examine the relevant mechanistic aspects of dietary fatty acids related to blood lipids, adipose tissue metabolism, hepatic fat storage and inflammatory process, all of them closely related to the genesis of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) reiterou recentemente que o consumo de dietas inadequadas e a inatividade física estão entre os dez principais fatores de mortalidade. Diversos ensaios aleatorizados demonstram que intervenções alimentares adequadas podem diminuir ou prevenir significativamente o aparecimento de várias doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. Neste contexto, o papel da dieta vem sendo exaustivamente avaliado em estudos clínicos e epidemiológicos. Assim, já foi bem estabelecido na literatura que a quantidade e o tipo de gordura alimentar exercem influência direta sobre fatores de risco cardiovascular, tais como a concentração de lípides e de lipoproteínas plasmáticas, bem como sua associação a processos inflamatórios. Os ácidos graxos participam de complexos sistemas de sinalização intracelular, função que vem sendo bastante explorada. Os ácidos graxos poli-insaturados não somente influenciam a composição das membranas, metabolismo celular e sinais de tradução, mas também modulam a expressão de genes, regulando a atividade e a produção de diversos fatores de transcrição. A proposta deste artigo é rever tópicos relevantes referentes ao metabolismo de lípides e os relacionar a terapias nutricionais que possam contribuir para a prevenção e o tratamento de doenças associadas.

Abstract
During the last century much evidence has accumulated to suggest that from a public health perspective the type of fat is more important than the amount of fat. Saturated andtrans-fatty acids increase and bothn-6 andn-3 PUFA decrease the risk of CHD. Most of the knowledge about the effects of dietary fatty acids on CHD risk is based on observational studies and controlled dietary experiments with intermediate end points (e.g. blood lipoprotein fractions). Information from high-quality randomised controlled trials on fatty acids and CHD is lacking. The Netherlands Institute for Public Health has calculated the potential health gain that can be achieved if the fatty acid composition of the current Dutch diet is replaced by the recommended fatty acid composition. The recommendations of The Netherlands Health Council are: saturated fatty acids <10% energy intake;trans-fatty acids <1% energy intake; fish consumption (an indicator ofn-3 PUFA) once or twice weekly. Implementation of this recommendation could reduce the incidence of CHD in The Netherlands by about 25 000/year and the number of CHD-related deaths by about 6000/year and increase life expectancy from age 40 years onwards by 0.5 year. These projections indicate the public health potential of interventions that modify the fatty acid composition of the diet.

Abstract
Changes in food production and dietary practices are occurring faster than our understanding of their potential impact on children's health. Traditionally, pediatric gastroenterologists have studied food with respect to its nutritive value and digestibility, its influence on metabolism, its growth-promoting characteristics, and its relationship to risk and severity of disease. Biotechnology is now expanding the science of food to include disease prevention and treatment, as well as the feeding of children on a global scale. Bioengineered ("genetically modified", or "transgenic") plants were initially developed to enhance the food supply by increasing crop yields. Such previously developed transgenic plants are now prevalent worldwide and appear in many processed food products. The implementation of the technology of genetic modulation of food plants has led to considerable fear, controversy, and confusion as the understanding of the technology is poor in the general population. This review presents an overview of genetically modified food crops and their potential unique benefits and risks to children's health. Political, economical, and ecological issues related to transgenic crops are not discussed.

Abstract
This article reviews the current status of our knowledge of lipoproteins, nutrition, and coronary heart disease (CHD). Special emphasis is placed on CHD risk assessment, dietary intervention studies, diet-gene interactions, and current dietary guidelines and the contributions of my laboratory to these areas. CHD remains a major cause of death and disability, and risk factors include age, sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, elevated serum LDL cholesterol, and low HDL cholesterol. Emerging independent risk factors include elevated serum concentrations of lipoprotein(a), remnant lipoproteins, and homocysteine. The cornerstone of CHD prevention is lifestyle modification. Dietary intervention studies support the concepts that restricting saturated fat and cholesterol and increasing the intake of essential fatty acids, especially n - 3 fatty acids, reduces CHD risk. The variability in LDL-cholesterol response to diet is large, related in part to APOE and APOA4 genotype. The use of antioxidants in intervention studies has not been shown to reduce CHD risk. Compliance with dietary recommendations remains a major problem, and directly altering the food supply may be the most effective way to ensure compliance. The available data indicate that the recommendation to use fats, oils, and sugars sparingly for CHD prevention should be modified to a recommendation to use animal, dairy, and hydrogenated fats; tropical oils; egg yolks; and sugars sparingly and to increase the use of vegetables, fruit, and whole grains.

Abstract
Male, female and ovariectomized (to mimic menopause) guinea pigs were fed a saturated (SFA) or a polyunsaturated (PUFA) fat diet for 4 weeks to determine the effects of dietary fat saturation on lipoprotein levels and composition and to assess whether gender and hormonal status modulate the cholesterolemic response. Both diets contained 15g/100 g fat and 0.04 g/100 g cholesterol and were identical in composition except for the type of fat. The SFA diet contained 50% saturated fat (25% lauric + myristic fatty acids), 25% PUFA and 25% monounsaturated fatty acids while the PUFA diet had 50% PUFA (linoleic acid), 25% monounsaturated and 25% SFA fatty acids. Plasma LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) was an average 21% lower in guinea pigs fed PUFA compared to those fed SFA (P < 0.05). In addition, ovariectomized guinea pigs, both in the SFA and PUFA groups, had 20-33% higher LDL-C than either males or females (P < 0.01). VLDL cholesterol was 70% higher in the PUFA-fed animals (P < 0.0001). A gender effect was observed in plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) with females and ovariectomized guinea pigs having 30-42% higher HDL-C than males (P < 0.01). LDL susceptibility to oxidation was not affected by dietary fat saturation or gender. In contrast, VLDL and LDL composition were significantly influenced by diet and gender. VLDL particles were larger in size in guinea pigs fed the SFA diets (P < 0.01) while LDL particles were larger in female guinea pigs (P < 0.001). Hepatic lipids were influenced by the interaction between diet and group. Hepatic cholesterol (P < 0.01) and TAG concentrations (P < 0.0001) were highest in female guinea pigs fed the PUFA diet. Since the liver is the major site of lipoprotein synthesis and catabolism, these results suggest that not only diet but also gender may play a major role in determining the composition and size of lipoproteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our laboratory has previously reported that the hypolipidemic effect of rice bran oil (RBO) is not entirely explained by its fatty acid composition. Although RBO has up to three times more serum cholesterol-raising saturated fatty acids (SATS) than some unsaturated vegetable oils, we hypothesized that its greater content of the unsaponifiables would compensate for its high SATS and yield comparable cholesterol-lowering properties to other vegetable oils with less SATS. METHODS To study the comparative effects of different unsaturated vegetable oils on serum lipoprotein levels, nine cynomologus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were fed diets, for four weeks, in a Latin square design, containing rice bran, canola or corn oils (as 20% of energy) in a basal mixture of other fats to yield a final dietary fat concentration of 30% of energy. All animals were fed a baseline diet containing 36% of energy as fat with 15% SATS, 15% monounsaturated fatty acids (MONOS) and 6% polyunsaturated fatty acids (POLYS). RESULTS Despite the lower SATS and higher MONOS content of canola oil and the higher POLYS content of corn oil, RBO produced similar reductions in serum total cholesterol (TC) (-25%) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (-30%). In addition, as compared to the baseline diet, the reduction in serum TC and LDL-C cholesterol with RBO was not accompanied by reductions in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) which occurred with the other two dietary oils. Using predictive equations developed from data gathered from several studies with non-human primates, we noted that the observed serum TC and LDL-C lowering capabilities of the RBO diet were in excess of those predicted based on the fatty acid composition of RBO. CONCLUSIONS These studies suggest that non-fatty acid components (unsaponifiables) of RBO can contribute significantly to its cholesterol-lowering capability.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to compare the cholesterol-lowering properties of corn fiber oil (CFO) to corn oil (CO), whether the addition of soy stanols or soy sterols to CO at similar levels in CFO would increase CO's cholesterol-lowering properties, and the mechanism(s) of action of these dietary ingredients. Fifty male Golden Syrian hamsters were divided into 5 groups of 10 hamsters each, based on similar plasma total cholesterol (TC) levels. The first group of hamsters was fed a chow-based hypercholesterolemic diet containing either 5% coconut oil + 0.24% cholesterol (coconut oil), 5% CO, 5% CFO, 5% CO + 0.6% soy sterols (sterol), or 5% CO + 0.6% soy stanols (stanol) in place of the coconut oil for 4 weeks. The stanol diet significantly inhibited the elevation of plasma TC compared to all other dietary treatments. Also, the CFO and sterol diets significantly inhibited the elevation of plasma TC compared to the CO and coconut oil diets. The CFO, sterol, and stanol diets significantly inhibited the elevation of plasma non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol compared to the CO and coconut oil diets. The stanol diet significantly inhibited the elevation of plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) compared to all other dietary treatments. The sterol diet significantly inhibited the elevation of plasma HDL-C compared to the CO and coconut oil diets, whereas the CFO diet significantly inhibited the elevation of plasma HDL-C compared to the coconut oil diet only. No differences were observed between the CFO and CO for plasma HDL-C. There were no differences observed between groups for plasma triglycerides. The CO and CFO diets had significantly less hepatic TC compared to the coconut oil, sterol, and stanol diets. The CO and CFO diets had significantly less hepatic free cholesterol compared to the sterol and stanol diets but not compared to the coconut oil diet; whereas the coconut oil and sterol diets had significantly less hepatic free cholesterol compared to the stanol diet. The CFO, sterol, and stanol diets excreted significantly more fecal cholesterol compared to the coconut oil and CO diets. In summary, CFO reduces plasma and hepatic cholesterol concentrations and increases fecal cholesterol excretion greater than CO through some other mechanism(s) in addition to increase dietary sterols and stanols-possibly oryzanols.

Abstract
The LDL receptor plays a pivotal role in the clearance of pro-atherogenic lipoproteins, and LDL receptor deficiency may be the underlying cause of several primary and secondary dyslipidaemic conditions. Intervention strategies are often targeted to increase hepatic LDL receptor expression. It is difficult to quantitate hepatic LDL receptor activity and to monitor changes post-therapy. In order to avoid liver biopsy, human skin fibroblasts or circulating mononuclear cells have often been used as surrogate markers for the hepatic receptor. Fibroblasts, and particularly mononuclear cells, are relatively easy to isolate and can be stored for extensive lengths of time without significant loss of LDL receptor expression. Leucocytes or fibroblasts are normally probed with isotopically or gold-labelled LDL. However, the specific activity of the LDL conjugate is usually too low to enable accurate quantitation of differences, or changes, in LDL receptor expression. In this study, we describe an enhanced colloidal gold-labelling procedure for the detection of LDL receptor binding activity. The binding of colloidal gold-labelled chylomicron remnants to human hepatocytes (HepG2 cells) was compared with that of gold-conjugated LDL. Labelled remnants bound specifically to a cell surface protein with a molecular weight of approximately 130 kDa. Binding was blocked in the presence of unlabelled remnants, LDL, or antiserum specific to the LDL receptor. The binding of gold-labelled remnants was substantially greater than that of gold-labelled LDL. Compared with gold-labelled LDL, we found a much clearer demarcation of remnant binding with hepatocytes incubated in the presence or absence of sterols. Our observations suggest that, because of the greater affinity of the LDL receptor for lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein E, changes in LDL receptor expression might be more readily identified using gold-labelled remnants. We conclude that gold-conjugated chylomicron remnants might provide a useful means of detecting subtle changes in LDL receptor expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in plasma lipid and lipoprotein distributions that occur after menopause increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in women, especially in those who are overweight. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a nine-month weight reduction program on plasma lipids, dietary intake and abdominal fat obesity. DESIGN A partial crossover design was used to study a weight loss treatment consisting of Phentermine hydrochloride (Fastin, SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals, Philadelphia, PA) therapy plus a low energy diet (5040 kJ/d). Forty-seven obese, postmenopausal Caucasian women (BMI of 30-38 kg/m2) were randomized into two groups, both of which received drug and diet treatment over six months. However, Group I started the intervention program three months later than Group II. Plasma total, HDL and LDL cholesterol and triacylglycerol were measured, body composition was assessed by anthropometry and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, and food frequency records were collected at four timepoints. RESULTS Over nine months, women in Group II reduced body weight (14.4%), lowered plasma concentrations of LDL cholesterol (14% to 26%) and triacylglycerol (15%) and raised plasma HDL cholesterol concentration (15%). These plasma lipid changes decreased the total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio from 4.3 to 3.2. All subjects decreased abdominal fat measurements and energy and cholesterol intakes, as well as percentage of energy derived from total and saturated fat during the study. Most subjects also increased dietary fiber consumption. CONCLUSION Both weight loss and diet modifications are associated with an improved plasma lipid profile in obese postmenopausal women.

Abstract
We studied the effect of dietary olive and corn oil on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism in golden Syrian hamsters. The animals were fed a semipurified diet containing 0.1% cholesterol and 40 energy % in the form of either olive or corn oil for a period of nine weeks. Hamsters fed corn oil had significantly lower very-low density and low-density lipoprotein (VLDL+LDL) cholesterol concentrations than those fed olive oil (0.98+/-0.24 vs. 1.40+/-0.34 mmol/l, means+/-S.D., n = 12), as well as significantly lower HDL cholesterol concentrations (3.31+/-0.50 vs. 3.91+/-0.12 mmol/l). The binding capacity of 125I-labelled HDL to liver membranes was 33% higher in the hamsters fed corn oil instead of olive oil (571+/-29 vs. 429+/-24 ng HDL protein/mg membrane protein, P<0.05, n = 4). HDL protein kinetics were studied with 125I-HDL using a constant infusion technique. Both HDL fractional catabolic rate (0.255+/-0. 058 vs. 0.121+/-0.023 /h, P<0.01, n = 5) and transport rate (2.386+/-0. 753 vs. 1.218+/-0.101 mg/h, P<0.01, n = 5) were about 2-fold higher in the hamsters fed corn oil. The rate of plasma cholesterol esterification by lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) was essentially the same for the two diets. It is concluded that the low HDL level in the hamsters fed corn oil diets is linked with increased HDL binding and degradation in the liver and possibly other tissues. Due to increased HDL protein turnover, the capacity for reverse cholesterol transport is increased in hamsters fed corn oil despite the relative low HDL concentrations

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The type of dietary fat as well as the amount of cholesterol occurring in the diet have been associated with several metabolic disorders. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of a hypercholesterolemic diet enriched with coconut oil and cholesterol on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in a rat model. METHODS Twenty male Wistar rats weighing about 190 g were assigned to two dietary groups. One group received a semipurified control diet and the other was given a diet enriched in coconut oil (25% by weight) and cholesterol (1% by weight) for 26 days. RESULTS Our results indicated a significant increase in serum total cholesterol (+285%; p<0.001), low-density lipoproteins (+154%; p<0.01), liver cholesterol (+1509%; p<0.001), as well as a significant increase in liver weight (+46%; p<0.001) in those rats fed the hypercholesterolemia-inducing diet as compared to controls. Moreover, a significant decrease in serum high-density lipoproteins (-67%; p<0.001), triacylglycerols levels (-33%; p<0.05), and abdominal fat weight (-39%; p<0.01) were found. The observed alterations in serum lipid and lipoprotein profile resembled a situation of type IIa hyperlipidemia in humans. Measurement of several enzymes concerned with lipid utilization revealed a significant increase in 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase activity (+68%; p<0.01) in the liver of animals fed the hypercholesterolemic diet, while a significant reduction in plasma lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase activity (-66%; p<0.001) was found. The situation of hypoglycemia (-18%; p<0.05) was accompanied by lower levels of serum insulin (-45%; p<0.01) and liver glycogen (-30%; p<0.05) in the hypercholesterolemic rats. Furthermore, glucose utilization was altered since lower glucose-6-Pase (-33%; p<0.05) and increased glucokinase (+212%; p<0.001) activities in the liver were found in the rat model of hypercholesterolemia. CONCLUSION These results provide new evidence that a diet-induced hypercholesterolemia in rats is associated with several adaptative changes in carbohydrate metabolism. These findings may be of importance not only considering the role of western diets on cholesterogenesis, but also in other metabolic disturbances involving lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of vegetal oils obtained from Pinus pinaster and P. koraiensis seeds on plasma lipoprotein levels and apolipoprotein (apo) gene expression in rats. These oils contain two particular fatty acids of the delta5-unsaturated polymethylene-interrupted fatty acid (delta5-UPIFA) family: all-cis-5,9,12-1 8:3 (pinolenic) and/or all-cis-5,11,14-20:3 (sciadonic) acids. Rats were fed for 28 d a diet containing 5% (w/w) oil supplement. Two control diets were prepared to match the fatty acid composition of P. pinaster or P. koraiensis oils with the exception of delta5-UPIFA, which were replaced by oleic acid. Pinus pinaster seed oil decreased serum triglycerides by 30% (P < 0.02), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-triglycerides by 40% (P < 0.01), and VLDL-cholesterol by 33% (P < 0.03). Pinus koraiensis seed oil decreased serum triglycerides by 16% [not statistically significant (ns)] and VLDL-triglycerides by 21% (ns). Gel permeation chromatography and nondenaturating polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a tendency of high density lipoprotein to shift toward larger particles in pine seed oil-supplemented rats. Finally, P. pinaster seed oil treatment was associated with a small decrease of liver apoC-III (P < 0.02) but not in apoE, apoA-I, or apoA-II mRNA levels. The levels of circulating apo were not affected by pine seed oil supplementation. In conclusion, P. pinaster seed oil has a triglyceride-lowering effect in rats, an effect that is due to a reduction in circulating VLDL.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of chronic (1 wk) feeding of dietary triacylglycerol (TG) of varying fatty acid composition on small intestinal and hepatic apolipoprotein expression, as well as serum lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations, in newborn swine. Two-day-old female swine were fed one of three diets by gavage with the following lipid composition: medium-chain TG (MCT; MCT oil), intermediate-chain saturated TG (ICST; coconut oil), and long-chain polyunsaturated TG (LCPUT; safflower oil) at 753 kJ . kg-1 . day-1 with 51% of energy from fat. After 1 wk, serum lipids and apolipoprotein concentrations were measured, and jejunal apolipoprotein B (apo B) and apo A-I mass and apo B, apo A-I, apo A-IV, and apo C-III synthesis were measured. Liver was processed for determination of apo B and apo A-I mass and apo B, apo A-I, apo C-III, and beta-actin mRNA abundance by slot blot hybridization. Compared with the MCT and LCPUT groups, the ICST group had higher total serum cholesterol, TG, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, and apo A-I concentrations. There were no differences among the three groups for intestinal apolipoprotein mass or synthesis. In liver, apo A-I mass was highest in the ICST group. Liver apo A-I and apo C-III mRNA abundance was highest in the ICST group. Among all three groups, hepatic apo A-I mass correlated significantly with plasma HDL-cholesterol concentrations, and serum TG concentrations correlated with hepatic apo C-III mRNA abundance. In conclusion, we found that in the newborn piglet, chronic feeding of ICST increases serum total cholesterol, TG, HDL-cholesterol, and apo A-I concentrations and hepatic expression of apo A-I and apo C-III mRNA, compared with feeding of MCT or LCPUT. We speculate that increased hepatic apo A-I expression may contribute to the higher serum HDL and apo A-I concentrations in the ICST animals. Increased hepatic expression of apo C-III with ICST feeding may contribute to the higher serum TG concentrations by apo C-III-mediated inhibition of the catabolism of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether the addition of soy protein and guar gum to the American Heart Association (AHA) Step I diet would increase its efficacy compared with the typical "Average American Diet" (AAD) in a non-human primate model. Twenty adult female cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were fed one of three diets for 6 wk. The AAD contained 36% energy from fat; the standard Step I diet contained 30% energy from fat; and the modified AHA Step I diet contained 30% energy from fat with the addition of soy protein isolate (10% of total energy) and guar gum (5.8 g/d). Plasma samples were collected from food-deprived monkeys at 4, 5 and 6 wk of dietary treatment for analyses of plasma total cholesterol (TC), lipoprotein cholesterol and triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations. Plasma TC, LDL-C, HDL-C and TAG concentrations were not significantly different in wk 4, 5 and 6 within any of the diet periods; thus the three measurements were averaged. After 6 wk of dietary treatment, monkeys fed the standard Step I diet had lower plasma TC (-19%) (P < 0.05) and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) (-24%) (P < 0.09) than when they were fed the AAD, with no effect on HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), the lipoprotein cholesterol profile or TAG. Beyond the effect of the standard Step I diet, the modified AHA Step I diet further reduced plasma TC and LDL-C (-24% and -40%) (P < 0. 05) and the TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios (-37% and -52%) (P < 0. 05) with no significant changes in plasma HDL-C or TAG. The primary conclusions of this study are that the efficacy of the AHA Step I cholesterol-lowering diet can be increased with the addition of soy protein and guar gum and provide a more favorable lipoprotein cholesterol profile. Whether the cholesterol-lowering effect is the result of soy protein or guar gum or a synergistic effect of both remains to be determined.

Abstract
Current dietary recommendations to decrease coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in the general population include reduction of total fat intake to less than or equal to 30% of energy, saturated fat to less than 10% of energy, and dietary cholesterol to less than 300 mg/day. Further restrictions in saturated fat to less than 7% of energy and in dietary cholesterol to less than 200 mg/day are indicated for those individuals with elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations. Under controlled conditions, such diets reduce LDL cholesterol by 15% to 20%. However, in the out-patient setting, only 5% to 10% reductions in LDL cholesterol have been achieved, and large variability in dietary response is observed due to differences in compliance, as well as to genetic heterogeneity. This article reviews epidemiologic studies and dietary intervention trials that support a direct relationship between diet, lipoproteins, and CHD risk, with the ultimate goal of providing a framework for dietary management of the hyperlipidemic patient.

Abstract
To examine the mechanism(s) underlying the cholesterolemic response to dietary cholesterol and saturated fatty acids, low density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism was studied in two groups of cynomolgus monkeys fed diets containing 30 or 36% of total energy as fat. At each dietary fat level, the same group of monkeys was sequentially fed three dietary cholesterol concentrations as egg yolk in the following sequence: low (0.01 mg/kJ), medium (0.03 mg/kJ) and high (0.05 mg/kJ) for 30, 32 and 24 wk, respectively. Dietary polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids were the same in the two groups; the 6% difference in fat was due to the saturated fatty acids, 12:0 and 14:0. Serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and LDL apolipoprotein B concentrations increased (P < 0.05) with dietary cholesterol in a dose-dependent manner in both fat groups. These elevations were the result of generally increasing LDL apolipoprotein B production rates, concomitant with reduced LDL apolipoprotein B fractional clearance at the high cholesterol intake. Serum HDL cholesterol and HDL apolipoprotein A-I concentrations were not affected in a consistent manner. These results demonstrate that cynomolgus monkeys are hyperresponsive to dietary cholesterol compared with humans, suggesting that this model may be useful in identifying metabolic and genetic predictors for hyperresponsiveness to dietary cholesterol in humans as well as assessing the metabolic heterogeneity of responses to dietary cholesterol.

Abstract
Inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) reduce experimental atherosclerosis by different mechanisms. To determine whether dual-drug therapy additively retards the progression of early lesions, control hyperlipidemic hamsters were compared with those treated with pravastatin, captopril, and pravastatin plus captopril. After 8 weeks of treatment, pravastatin (34 mg/kg/day) reduced plasma total cholesterol and triglycerides by 41 and 84%, respectively, whereas captopril (100 mg/kg/day) reduced normal blood pressure by 21%. The combination of pravastatin and captopril (33 and 100 mg/kg/day) decreased plasma total cholesterol and triglycerides by 44 and 84%, and blood pressure was decreased by 14%. In the aortic arch, pravastatin reduced macrophage-foam cell size and fatty streak area by 21 and 31%, respectively, whereas captopril decreased macrophage-foam cell number and fatty streak area by 34 and 35%. Pravastatin plus captopril decreased macrophage-foam cell number, foam cell size, and fatty streak area by 38, 24, and 67%. ACE inhibitors were previously reported to retard atherosclerosis without affecting blood pressure, suggesting that these agents acted on the artery wall. Therefore the expression of arterial ACE was determined in normal and atherosclerotic hamster aortas. ACE messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein were detected in endothelial cells, intimal macrophage-foam cells and medial smooth-muscle cells of atherosclerotic arteries indicating an upregulation of ACE expression with hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. In conclusion, dual-therapy with pravastatin and captopril produced an additive reduction in fatty streak area compared with either drug alone and suggested that atherogenesis can be retarded beyond the level achieved with monotherapy. The presence of ACE in endothelial cells and intimal macrophage-foam cells provides cellular targets for captopril to directly modify the formation of early atherosclerotic lesions.

Abstract
Studies investigated the effects of dietary fatty acid composition and saturation on the regulation of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) apo B flux, clearance, and conversion to low density lipoprotein (LDL) in guinea pigs fed semipurified diets containing 15% (w/w) corn oil (CO), lard (LA), or palm kernel oil (PK). Plasma cholesterol levels were highest with dietary PK (3.1 +/- 1.0 mmol/L) followed by LA (2.4 +/- 0.4 mmol/L) and CO (1.6 +/- 0.4 mmol/L) intake. VLDL particles were larger (P < 0.05) in the LA (78 +/- 7 nm) and PK (69 +/- 10 nm) groups compared to animals fed CO (49 +/- 5 nm). VLDL-apo B fractional catabolic rates (FCR) were highest in guinea pigs fed the LA diet (P < 0.05) and VLDL apo B flux, estimated from VLDL 125I-apo B turnover kinetics, were higher in LA compared to PK or CO fed guinea pigs. In the case of PK consumption, the kinetic estimates of VLDL apo B flux significantly underestimated rates compared to direct VLDL apo B secretion measurements and LDL turnover analyses. These data demonstrate that differences in the composition and amount of saturated fatty acids have differential effects on VLDL apo B flux, catabolism, and conversion to LDL which, together with changes in LDL receptor-mediated catabolism, determine plasma LDL cholesterol levels in guinea pigs. The data also indicate that kinetic analysis of VLDL metabolism in PK fed animals is inaccurate possibly due to the presence of a small, nonequilibrating pool of newly synthesized VLDL which is rapidly converted to LDL.

Abstract
Saturated vegetable oils (coconut, palm, and palm kernel oil) containing predominantly saturated fatty acids, lauric (12:0) or myristic (14:0 and palmitic (16:0), raise plasma total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in animals and humans, presumably by decreasing LDL receptor activity and/or increasing LDL-C production rate. Although stearic acid (18:0) is chemically a saturated fatty acid, both human and animal studies suggest it is biologically neutral (neither raising nor lowering) blood cholesterol levels. Although earlier studies indicated that medium chain fatty acids (8:0-10:0) were also thought to be neutral, more recent studies in animals and humans suggest otherwise. Unsaturated vegetable oils such as corn, soybean, olive, and canola oil, by virtue of their predominant levels of either linoleic acid (18:2) or oleic acid (18:1), are hypocholesterolemic, probably as a result of their ability to upregulate LDL receptor activity and/or decrease LDL-C production rate. Whether trans fatty acids such as trans oleate (t18:1), in hydrogenated products such as margarine, are hypercholesterolemic remains controversial. Studies in humans suggest that their cholesterol-raising potential falls between the native nonhydrogenated vegetable oil and the more saturated dairy products such as butter. Assessment of the magnitude of the cholesterolemic response of trans 18:1 is difficult because in most diet studies its addition is often at the expense of cholesterol-lowering unsaturated fatty acids, making an independent evaluation almost impossible.

Abstract
It has been known for 40 years that dietary saturated fat (SAT FAT) increases plasma cholesterol, including LDL-C and HDL-C. In humans, where LDL-C is typically > 90 mg/dl this SAT FAT effect largely reflects changes in LDL-C pool size. The original human studies suggested that LDL-C expansion during SAT FAT consumption reflected reduced LDL clearance (LDL receptor activity) in hyperlipemics and increased LDL production rates in normolipemics (LDL-C < 100 mg/dl) . This dual explanation is supported by data from several animal models where specific saturated fatty acids (SFAs) have been the focus. However, the situation is complicated by the fact that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) oppose SFAs, i.e. PUFAs decrease LDL-C and increase LDL receptor (LDLr) activity, so the effect of SAT FAT intake may represent the combined influence of increased SFAs and decreased PUFAs. In fact, careful scrutiny of primate data suggests a negligible effect of saturated fat on LDL clearance (and receptor activity) in the absence of dietary cholesterol when PUFA intake is adequate (5-10%en) and the lipoprotein profile is relatively normal (LDL-C < 90 mg/dl), i.e. normolipemic situations at the time of dietary intervention. In such cases increases in LDL-C due to SFAs (particularly 12:0+14:0) appear to reflect LDL overproduction associated with a shift in cholesterol from tissues to the plasma cholesteryl ester (CE) pool (both LDL-C and HDL-C) without altering whole-body cholesterol balance. The reason for this shift, which is accompanied by an increase in the plasma oleic/linoleic CE ratio, is unknown but may reflect a decreased rate of CE hydrolysis by the liver. When individuals or animals are rendered hyperlipemic by other factors (e.g. chronic caloric and dietary cholesterol excesses in humans or by cholesterol feeding in animals) specific SFAs (particularly 16:0) can contribute to decreased LDLr activity initiated by a primary factor, such as dietary cholesterol. However, LDLr down-regulation by dietary cholesterol greatly exceeds any contribution from SFAs.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various dietary fats on low density lipoprotein (LDL) binding in an in vitro system where receptor number is not regulated. Cynomolgus monkeys were fed diets containing 37% of energy from fat, with various degrees of saturation, and 0.4 mg/kcal cholesterol or low-fat (13% of energy), low cholesterol (0.03 mg/kcal) chow. Plasma LDL was isolated after 16 weeks. The fatty acid composition of LDL showed enrichment corresponding to the dietary fats consumed, and the high fat, high cholesterol diets produced marked hypercholesterolemia compared to chow feeding. Of those fed the high fat diets, monkeys fed the fish oil diet had the highest LDL cholesterol concentrations, 13.25 +/- 0.77 mmol/l, while those fed the safflower oil diet had the lowest, 7.51 +/- 3.31. LDL from chow fed monkeys had the lowest binding affinity; the Kd was 26.2 +/- 8.7 microg/ml, nearly twice that of the high fat diets (P = 0.003). No significant differences in binding were found between the different high fat diets, although there was a trend toward lower affinity in the diets enriched in polyunsaturated fat. LDL size was affected by diet with chow fed monkeys having the smallest average LDL, 259.3 +/- 1.7 A compared to the other groups (P = 0.03). Monkeys fed the fish oil diet tended to have smaller LDL, but this was not significantly different from the other high fat diets. Binding affinity was correlated with LDL size, r = 0.54, P < 0.01. LDL composition, as measured by apo B/cholesterol ratio, was altered by feeding a high fat, high cholesterol diet. The ratio was reduced in the LDL samples from monkeys fed the high fat diets compared to those fed chow, but this ratio was not significantly correlated with binding. Thus, it appears that increasing dietary fat and cholesterol intake increases LDL size and binding affinity, such that LDL metabolism may be altered independently from effects on receptor number; the type of dietary fat does not seem to influence this process when fat and cholesterol content is very high.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to test the effect of a novel fatty acid mixture, enriched with myristoleic and palmitoleic acids, on plasma lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. Weanling pigs were assigned to one of six groups and each group received a diet differing in fatty acid composition. Diets were fed for 35 days and contained 10 g added cornstarch/100 g (to provide baseline data) or 10 g added fatty acids/100 g. For those diets containing added fatty acids, extracted lipids contained 36% myristoleic plus palmitoleic acid combined (14:1/16:1 diet), 52% palmitic acid (16:0 diet), 51% stearic acid (18:0 diet), 47% oleic acid (18:1 diet), or 38% linoleic acid (18:2 diet). With the exception of the cornstarch diet, all diets contained approximately 30% myristic acid. There were no significant differences in weight gain across treatment groups (P = 0.22). All diets caused a significant increase in triglycerides and in total, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol. The increase in total plasma cholesterol from pretreatment values was greatest in pigs fed the 14:1/16:1 and 18:1 diets. However, the increase in low density lipoprotein cholesterol from the pretreatment concentration was greatest in the 14:1/16:1-fed pigs. Increases in very low density lipoprotein cholesterol above pretreatment concentrations were lowest in 16:0-fed pigs and greatest in 18:1-fed pigs. Dietary fatty acids elicited changes in plasma fatty acids which generally were reflective of the diets, although the 18:0 diet did not alter plasma fatty acid concentrations and the 16:0 diet increased plasma 16:0 only at the end of the study. These results demonstrated that the combination of myristoleic plus palmitoleic acids increased plasma cholesterol in young pigs, suggesting that fatty acid chain length, rather than degree of unsaturation, is primarily responsible for the effects of fatty acids on circulating lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations.

Abstract
The hypocholesterolemic efficacies of various polyunsaturated fatty acids were compared in rats given cholesterol-enriched diets. Oenothera biennis Linn oil (OBLO, linoleic + gamma-linolenic), sunflower oil (linoleic), palm oil (PLO, oleic + linoleic), soybean oil (linoleic + alpha-linolenic), high-oleic safflower oil (oleic + linoleic), or mixed oil (linoleic + alpha-linolenic) was added to the diet at 200 g/kg (20% groups). OBLO was also added at 100 g/kg diet (10% group). The serum total and very low density lipoprotein + intermediate lipoprotein + low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations of the 10 and 20% OBLO groups were consistently lower than those in the other groups. The liver cholesterol concentration in the PLO group was lower in all groups. The liver cholesterol concentrations in the 10 and 20% OBLO groups were also lower than in the other groups. There were no significant differences in the fecal neutral sterol and bile acid extraction among groups.

Abstract
To determine the mechanisms whereby dietary fatty acids influence high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo) A-I concentrations, ten cynomolgus monkeys were fed each of three experimental diets enriched in saturated (SAT), monounsaturated (MONO), or polyunsaturated (POLY) fatty acids in a crossover design consisting of three 13-week periods, with each animal serving as its own control. Each diet contained 30% of energy as fat with 0.22 mg cholesterol/kcal and differed solely by the isocaloric substitution of fatty acids as 18% of total energy calories. The replacement of dietary saturated fatty acids with either monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids, respectively, resulted in significant reductions of plasma total cholesterol (-17%; -30%), HDL cholesterol (-32%; -41%), and apo A-I (-37%; -44%) concentrations, while no significant differences were noted in plasma lipid or apo A-I concentrations when the MONO and POLY phases were compared. Although the MONO and POLY diets were similar in their effects on plasma lipids and apolipoproteins, the HDL of monkeys fed the POLY diet, as compared with either the SAT or the MONO diets, contained more cholesteryl ester and phospholipid but less total protein, resulting in a significantly lower total lipid to protein constituent ratio. Metabolic experiments revealed that the significantly lower plasma apo A-I concentrations observed during both the MONO and POLY phases relative to SAT were directly attributable to enhanced HDL apo A-I catabolism. Conversely, neither HDL apo A-I production rates nor hepatic apo A-I mRNA concentrations were significantly affected by dietary fatty acid perturbation in this study. Taken together, these data indicate that fractional catabolic rate is the predominant mechanism by which dietary fatty acids differentially modulate circulating concentrations of HDL apo A-I in this species when all other dietary variables are held constant.

Abstract
The effect of rice bran oil, and oil not commonly consumed in the United States, on plasma lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations was studied within the context of a National Cholesterol Education Panel (NCEP) Step 2 diet and compared with the effects of canola, corn, and olive oils. The study subjects were 15 middle-aged and elderly subjects (8 postmenopausal women and 7 men; age range, 44 to 78 years) with elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (C) concentrations (range, 133 to 219 mg/dL). Diets enriched in each of the test oils were consumed by each subject for 32-day periods in a double-blind fashion and were ordered in a Latin square design. All food and drink were provided by the metabolic research unit. Diet components were identical (17% of calories as protein, 53% as carbohydrate, 30% as fat [< 7% as saturated fat], and 80 mg cholesterol/1000 kcal) except that two thirds of the fat in each diet was contributed by rice bran, canola, corn, or olive oil. Mean +/- SD plasma total cholesterol concentrations were 192 +/- 19, 194 +/- 20, 194 +/- 19, and 205 +/- 19 mg/dL, and LDL-C concentrations were 109 +/- 30, 109 +/- 26, 108 +/- 31, and 112 +/- 29 mg/dL after consumption of the rice bran, canola, corn, and olive oil-enriched diets, respectively. Plasma cholesterol and LDL-C concentrations were similar and statistically indistinguishable when the subjects consumed the rice bran, canola, and corn oil-enriched diets and lower than when they consumed the olive oil-enriched diet.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
