Sterol excretion and cholesterol absorption in diabetics and nondiabetics with and without hyperlipidemia

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

Abstract

Fecal neutral and acidic sterols and cholesterol absorption were measured in 12 normal control subjects, 40 diabetic subjects with and without hyperlipidemia, and 27 subjects with hyperlipidemia but without diabetes mellitus. All subjects were on a low-cholesterol diet (less than 300 mg cholesterol/day). Fecal excretion of neutral and acidic sterols was increased in patients with hypertriglyceridemia and was more marked in diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Cholesterol absorption was decreased in diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Otherwise, there were no significant differences in sterol excretion or cholesterol absorption in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects compared with control groups with similar lipid levels. The best predictors of fecal neutral- and acidic-sterol excretion and of estimated cholesterol synthesis were very low [corrected]-density lipoprotein triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Correction of hyperlipidemia may be beneficial in decreasing cholesterol synthesis and, thereby, in decreasing the risk of atherogenesis.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.

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.
