Researchers at the University of Chicago have found an unsuspected link between the immune system and
high plasma lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood) in mice.
However, the CD fed rats gained weight, were insulin resistant and had
higher plasma lipids than the MCD group (25).
Not exact matches
Atherosclerosis is initiated by
high plasma cholesterol leading to monocyte entry into the artery wall and differentiation into macrophages, which take up lipoprotein cholesterol to become
lipid engorged foam cells.
Plasma glucose, insulin and
lipid responses to
high - carbohydrate low - fat diets in normal humans.
This is often marked by weight gain and
high levels of
plasma lipids without an increase in total calories.
Diets
high in protein or saturated fat do not affect insulin sensitivity or
plasma concentrations of
lipids and lipoproteins in overweight and obese adults.
However, the effects of dietary fiber on glycemic control were considered inconsequential.1 Furthermore, the expert panel of the ADA considered it difficult to achieve a
high dietary intake of soluble fiber without consuming foods or supplements fortified with fiber.1 We therefore designed the present study to determine the effects on glycemic control and
plasma lipid concentrations of increasing the intake of dietary fiber in patients with type 2 diabetes exclusively through the consumption of foods not fortified with fiber (unfortified foods) to a level beyond that recommended by the ADA.
A
high intake of dietary fiber, particularly of the soluble type, above the level recommended by the ADA, improves glycemic control, decreases hyperinsulinemia, and lowers
plasma lipid concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Mind, a zero - saturated fat diet confers other advantages that may cancel out
high fructose diet effects on
plasma lipids.
