Comparison of three cholesterol-lowering diets in normolipidemic men

Abstract

Saturated fatty acids and cholesterol in the diet raise the plasma cholesterol concentration, and a reduction in these constituents is recommended widely. However, there is not general agreement as to which nutrients should replace saturated fatty acids. Several different substitute nutrients are possible. In this study, three cholesterol-lowering diets were compared in nine men living in a domiciliary. On a typical American diet at baseline, cholesterol levels were in the normal range. One replacement diet was high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (High Poly); another had 30% fat and corresponded to the American Heart Association's (AHA) recommended diet for the general public (AHA phase I); the third diet had 20% fat, equivalent to the AHA phase III diet for treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Compared with baseline levels, all diets caused similar reductions in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, but the High Poly and AHA phase III diets lowered the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level more than the AHA phase I diet. Thus, for the limited number of patients in this study, the diet recommended for the general public appeared as effective for lowering of cholesterol levels as diets containing m...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
