Dr. Jiang found that LPCAT3 deficiency significantly reduces polyunsaturated PC levels in the
plasma membrane of the cells that line the intestines, which in turn reduces lipid absorption and
decreases levels of lipids (cholesterol,
triglyceride, and phospholipid) in circulation.
However, they did find that low - carb diets were associated with significant
decreases in body weight as well as improvements in several cardiovascular risk factors, including
decreases in
triglycerides, fasting glucose, blood pressure, body mass index, abdominal circumference,
plasma insulin and c - reactive protein, as well as an increase in HDL «good» cholesterol.
While physical activity lowered
plasma triglyceride more with regular activity breaks, activity breaks were more effective than continuous physical activity at
decreasing negative blood sugar and insulin levels in healthy, normal - weight adults.
Meanwhile, consuming the juice of citrus fruits shows a
decrease of
plasma cholesterol and
triglycerides levels, liver cholesterol and circulating LDL: HDL [7, 27].
Previous studies in normal subjects have reported no effects of the amount of dietary fiber on
plasma triglyceride concentrations.42 In our study, the
decrease in
plasma triglyceride and VLDL cholesterol concentrations during the high - fiber diet could have been due to the improvement in glycemic control.
In relation to CVD, elevated blood pressure has been shown to be positively associated with higher intakes of red and processed meat, even though the mechanism is unclear, except that possibly meat may substitute for other beneficial foods such as grains, fruits, or vegetables.32 Mean
plasma total cholesterol, low - density lipoprotein cholesterol, very - low - density lipoprotein cholesterol, and
triglyceride levels were found to be
decreased in subjects who substituted red meat with fish.33, 34 Vegetarians have lower arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acid levels and higher linoleate and antioxidant levels in platelet phospholipids; such a biochemical profile may be related to
decreased atherogenesis and thrombogenesis.34 - 36
Evidence from some studies48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 has indicated that a high - carbohydrate diet compared with a high - unsaturated - fat diet (ie, MUFA), both of which are low in SFA and cholesterol, can cause an increase in
plasma triglyceride concentrations and a
decrease in HDL cholesterol levels.
