Cholesterol feeding increases low density lipoprotein synthesis.

چکیده
This study examines the effects of increased dietary cholesterol (6 eggs/d) on the metabolism of low density lipoproteins in a group of seven healthy volunteers. Egg supplementation raised high density and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels by 18 and 40%, respectively. The composition of the low density lipoprotein was unaltered and therefore the number of circulating particles must have increased. Kinetic studies indicated that this was due primarily to a 23% rise in the rate of synthesis of the lipoprotein. Catabolism was also affected. The fractional removal rate of native low density lipoprotein fell by 10% (P less than 0.05). However, the clearance of the 1,2 cyclohexanedione-treated lipoprotein remained unchanged (control fractional clearance rate [FCR] = 0.188 pools/d; cholesterol feeding FCR = 0.183 pools/d). Therefore, the reduction in low density lipoprotein catabolism appeared to be due to a fall in receptor activity. Consequently, an increased sterol load (34.2 mumol/kg per d vs. 27.7 mumol/kg per d in the control phase, P less than 0.02) was channelled into the receptor-independent route during egg feeding.

Rates of low density lipoprotein uptake and cholesterol synthesis are regulated independently in the liver.
The relationship between rates of hepatic sterol synthesis and rates of hepatic low density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake (clearance) was studied in animals with high (rats), low (female hamsters), and very low (male hamsters) basal rates of hepatic sterol synthesis. In rats and female hamsters, rates of hepatic sterol synthesis were varied over a 110-fold range by feeding cholesterol or cholestyram...
متن کاملInhibition of glycosphingolipid synthesis ameliorates atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness in apolipoprotein E-/- mice and rabbits fed a high-fat and -cholesterol diet.
BACKGROUND Glycosphingolipids, integral components of the cell membrane, have been shown to serve as messengers, transducing growth factor-initiated phenotypes. Here, we have examined whether inhibition of glycosphingolipid synthesis could ameliorate atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness in transgenic mice and rabbits. METHODS AND RESULTS Apolipoprotein E(-/-) mice (12 weeks of age; n=6) wer...
متن کاملIn vivo regulation of canine intestinal 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase by cholesterol, lipoprotein, and fatty acids.
Thirty-Vella-isolated ileal segments in dogs were used to study the regulation of intestinal cholesterol synthesis. This excluded fistula enabled independent in vivo manipulation of luminal and vascular influences on mucosal cells. Segments were studied repeatedly and each animal served as its own control. Cholesterol synthesis rate was assessed by measuring mucosal activity of the rate-limitin...
متن کاملAttenuating Effect of Curcumin on Diet-induced Hypercholesterolemia in Mice
Background and Aims: Atherosclerosis is currently a chronic disease in which cholesterols accumulate in large arteries. Many genes such as liver X receptor α (LXRα) are involved in the cholesterol homeostasis. Curcumin, the main active polyphenol component derived from Curcuma longa, contribute to anti-inflammation and antioxidant in the treatment of atherosclerosis. Thus, this stud...
