Walnuts and endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic subjects.
Hypercholesterolemic Subjects To the Editor: Ros et al1 recently reported that substituting walnuts for monounsaturated fat in a Mediterranean-type diet improves endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic subjects. The investigators explain that nuts contain sizable amounts of antioxidants, as well as L-arginine and -linolenic acid, which might also confer additional antiatherogenic propertie...
متن کاملEffects of CRP infusion on endothelial function and coagulation in normocholesterolemic and hypercholesterolemic subjects.
C-reactive protein (CRP) has been suggested to exert direct adverse effects on the vasculature in experimental setups, including endothelial dysfunction and proinflammatory changes. Here, we assessed the consequences of 1.25 mg/kg highly purified recombinant human CRP, administered as an intravenous bolus, in six patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and six normocholesterolemic subj...
متن کاملModulation of endothelial function by walnuts and sex hormones.
and Sex Hormones To the Editor: We read with interest the recent article by Dr Ros and colleagues1 dealing with the relationship between a walnut diet and endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic subjects. The results of their study demonstrated that the walnut diet significantly improved endothelium-dependent vasodilation. The authors indicated that changes of endothelium-dependent vasodil...
متن کاملA walnut diet improves endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic subjects: a randomized crossover trial.
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies suggest that nut intake decreases coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. Nuts have a cholesterol-lowering effect that partly explains this benefit. Endothelial dysfunction is associated with CAD and its risk factors and is reversed by antioxidants and marine n-3 fatty acids. Walnuts are a rich source of both antioxidants and alpha-linolenic acid, a plant n-3 fatt...
متن کاملHigh-density lipoprotein restores endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic men.
BACKGROUND Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for atherosclerosis-causing endothelial dysfunction, an early event in the disease process. In contrast, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol inversely correlates with morbidity and mortality representing a protective effect. Therefore, we investigated the effects of reconstituted HDL on endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic men. M...
