One hundred and sixty eight subjects participated in a randomised crossover study to determine whether halving or doubling the present dietary cholesterol intake from eggs had any influence on blood cholesterol concentration in people following current dietary recommendations. During the first eight weeks all participants were advised to follow a reduced fat diet (26% total energy for hyperlipi...

Effects of Dietary Protein and Soybean Saponins on Plasma Cholesterol Concentration in Chicks

Effects on plasma cholesterol concentration of protein source, protein content and soybean saponins in the diet were investigated in chicks. Soybean protein isolate fortified with methionine (SPI), or casein with arginine, methionine and glycine (CAA) was used as protein source. Seven-day-old Single Comb White Leghorn male chicks were freely fed the experimental diets for 10 days in all trials....

Hypercholesterolemic effect of dietary cholesterol in diets enriched in polyunsaturated and saturated fat. Dietary cholesterol, fat saturation, and plasma lipids.

Within the context of reduced-fat diets, the effects of incorporating a fat high in stearic acid and adding moderate amounts of dietary cholesterol were examined in 14 middle-aged and elderly women and men (range, 46 to 78 years) with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations > 130 mg/dL (range, 133 to 219 mg/dL) at screening. The subjects consumed each of the five diets, which...
