The statistical correlations between habitual diet and plasma
risk factors for coronary heart disease CHD were analyzed using
multiple regression. Thirty-one male subjects between 30-56 years
kept complete dietary records for 7 days. Daily means of nutrient
consumption were calculated using a computerized data base.
Fourteen independent variables (total kilocalories,...
The effect of increased egg consumption on plasma
cholesterol levels and its distribution among lipoproteins and
Apolipoprotein A-I/A-II ratios of high density lipoprotein
subfractions in individuals who did and did not demonstrate response
in plasma cholesterol levels was studied in 20 healthy middle-aged
men (30-55 years of age) for three...
The metabolic fate of cholesterol delivered to rat hepatocytes by rat plasma lipoproteins was determined. Binding and degradation of rat low and high density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL) in rat hepatocytes were studied. ¹²⁵I-labelled LDL and HDL were incubated with cells in the presence of varying concentrations of unlabelled lipoproteins...
Normal human skin fibroblast cells were used to study the effect
of zinc supplementation of the media on cell growth and the competitive
binding activity of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Cells were
grown in the media containing Dulbecco's Modified-Eagle Medium (DMEM),
5% (v/v) fetal calf serum (FCS), and various levels...
Effect of diets varying in amount of cholesterol and
polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio (P/S) on plasma lipid
levels and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity was
determined in fourteen young adult male subjects during a 13-week
experimental period in a crossover design.
Control diet was fed for two weeks prior...
