...Mikołaj Choroszyński; Maria Barcikowska; Anna Barczak Background: The rapid worldwide increase in the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease is associated with changing nutrition patterns. Recently, some articles have highlighted the link between Alzheimer’s disease and dietary cholesterol. It was found...

Smit Background: We aimed to assess absolute plasma-serum differences and differences in ranking of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), and TC/HDLC ratio...

... for a direct regulation of tomato lycopene on cholesterol metabolism using results from experimental and human studies. Results: In human macrophages lycopene dose dependently reduced intracellular total cholesterol. Such an effect was associated with a decrease in cholesterol synthesis through a reduction...

... of chronic disease did not change with these treatments. Conclusion: Increasing fiber intake by 12 g/day was well tolerated and may have a positive impact on colon health due to fermentation. Pullulan Resistant starch Short-chain fatty acids Gas production Cholesterol Ghrelin National...

...Julia Spielmann; Anne Noatsch; Corinna Brandsch; Gabriele I. Stangl; Klaus Eder Background: It has been hypothesized that the arginine:lysine ratio of dietary proteins influences cholesterol concentrations in plasma and liver of men and animals. This study was performed to test this hypothesis...

...M. Krajčovičová-Kudláčková; R. Šimončič; A. Béderová; R. Ondreička; J. Klvanová Selected parameters of lipid metabolism (cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, atherogenic index, triacylglycerols, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin E/cholesterol, plasma fatty acid profile) and pro-oxidative/anti...

... volunteers. This investigation was conducted to study the changes in serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, cholesterol in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), glucose, and body weight during Ramadan. The results showed a significant decrease (7.9%, p < 0.001) in serum total...

...P. Bobek; L. Kuniak; L. Ozdín In male rats fed a diet containing 1.5% cholesterol and 5% of dried mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) a significantly reduced accumulation of cholesterol in serum (by 45%) and the liver (by 15%) was observed at the end of the 12th week of the experiment. The decrease...

... dehydrogenase) in rats fed 12 or 24 mg cholesterol a day and 0-96 mg phytosterols. The results indicate that, provided the dietary phytosterol to cholesterol ratio is at least 1 and in the presence of a dietary cholesterol excess, phytosterols do exert a regulatory role through decreases of both acetyl-CoA...

...L. Cominacini; U. Garbin; A. Davoli; M. Campagnola; A. De Santis; C. Pasini; A.M. Pastorino; O. Bosello The concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in patients with severe obesity is generally subnormal. The exact mechanism linking obesity with reduced levels of HDL cholesterol...

...% increment in plasma triglyceride concentrations after 1 and 2 weeks of supplementation, respectively. Plasma cholesterol, as well as very-low- and low-density-lipoprotein levels did not change during the 2 weeks of red- or white-wine supplementation. The most impressive effect of red-wine intake...

... main organic functions of Cr, i.e., regulation of plasma glucose levels and total plasma cholesterol levels, was examined in weaned male Wistar rats. The diet of 20 rats was supplemented with 5 µg of As(V) and/or Cr(III) per gram of food for 10 weeks. As/Cr interaction did not significantly affect...

...N. Nicolaïew; E. Cavallero; H. Gandjini; E. Dolé; J. Koziet; P. Gambert; A. François; B. Jacotot We explored the effects of oral glycerol administration (20 g) alone or in combination with a mixed meal on postprandial lipids, free fatty acids, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and retinyl...

... plasma cholesterol ( p < 0.03) in fed rats. The apparent absorption of Fe, Zn and Mg was higher (p < 0.05) in rats fed Puri diets than in those fed Bran diets. For Ca, the difference was significant only on day 3. In this study, only the apparent absorption of Fe was affected (p < 0.01) by fibre...

...A.M. Temmerman; R.J. Vonk; K. Niezen-Koning; R. Berger; J. Fernandes The effects of dietary cholesterol and fats on cholesterol metabolism later in life were studied in Mongolian gerbils. Three groups were given a basic diet with soybean oil, palm kernel oil amounting to 8.75% (w/w), or the basic...

...R. Sablé-Amplis; R. Sicart; D. Dupouy Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase activity was determined in parallel with the rate of cholesterogenesis from acetate and mevalonate in the liver of hamsters fed diets enriched with pectins (5%) and/or cholesterol (0.1 %). Cholesterol feeding reduced the rate...

...R. Sicart; R.S. Sablé-Amplis The influence of an apple-supplemented diet on the distribution of cholesterol among the lipoproteins in plasma was studied using a special animal model: FEC hamsters which spontaneously develop hypercholesterolemia with aging when fed a commercial balanced diet...

... with 22 weight% protein in a western-style diet. Cholesterol levels were 2.02 ± 0.06 and 1.98 ± 0.04 mmol/l with casein and soy, respectively (22 weight%) and 2.08 ± 0.06 and 2.04 ± 0.05 mmol/l, respectively (11 weight%). There was a significant rise of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol by the lower...

... in a monastery, whose diet was perfectly regular and controlled. The serum lipid variations observed consisted mainly of an increase in total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins and apolipoprotein B in autumn and spring and an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in winter, whereas apoli-poproteins...

... and 68% linoleic acid). The activity of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase declined with age in all groups. In adult rats, the reductase activity was high in the EPO group and low in the SLO group. The activity of hepatic cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase was independent of the diet or age. Hepatic Δ 6 -desaturase...
