Abstract

Female baboons over 15 years of age develop irregular menstrual cycles, an indication of declining ovarian function similar to that occurring in perimenopausal women. To determine the effect of declining ovarian function on plasma lipoprotein metabolism and plasma oxysterols, we measured plasma lipoprotein and 27-hydroxycholesterol levels in 86 female baboons from 15-28 years of age with regular (n = 51) and irregular (n = 35) menstrual cycles. We sampled blood and liver while they were consuming a basal diet and after consuming a high cholesterol and high fat diet for 7 weeks. On the basal diet, baboons with irregular cycles had higher VLDL + LDL/HDL cholesterol ratios (P = 0.034). After consuming the HCHF diet for 7 weeks, total plasma (P < 0.001) and VLDL + LDL (P < 0.001) cholesterol concentrations and VLDL + LDL/HDL sterol ratios (P < 0.001) increased in both cycle groups; whereas HDL cholesterol concentrations increased only in baboons with regular cycles (P = 0.009). As a result, HDL cholesterol concentrations (P = 0.006) were lower and VLDL + LDL/HDL cholesterol ratios (P = 0.002) were higher in baboons with irregular cycles on the HCHF diet. Plasma 27-hydroxycholesterol concentrations were higher in baboons with regula...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
