Studies of atherogenic lipoprotein
concentrations and properties have raised questions about the benefit of lowering saturated fat intakes by increasing carbohydrate intake, which can induce atherogenic dyslipidemia, and the benefit of increasing monounsaturated fat intakes, which
does not lead to improvements in the properties of LDL particles that are associated with atherosclerosis in animal models, although substitution with monounsaturated fat rather than carbohydrate has been shown to reduce the ratio of total and LDL
cholesterol to HDL
cholesterol.
