Abstract

The long-term effects of dietary diacylglycerol (DAG) on body fat and lipid metabolism were studied in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Ten patients (seven males, three females) ranging in age from 40 to 64 years were enrolled. During the test period, 9.8 g of DAG was ingested per day for 3 months. Body mass index did not change throughout the study. The abdominal fat area measured by CT scan decreased significantly at 3 months, and increased significantly 3 months after completion of the DAG ingestion period. The serum composition of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) decreased significantly at 3 months and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) increased significantly at 3 months; these were determined using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Serum lipoprotein (a) decreased significantly at 3 months. Our study showed that 3-month ingestion of DAG reduced the amount of abdominal fat and improved serum lipid profiles in free-living HD patients.

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.
