Beauchesne - Rondeau E, Gascon A, Bergeron J, Jacques H. Plasma lipids and lipoproteins
in hypercholesterolemic men fed a lipid - lowering diet containing lean beef, lean fish, or poultry.
Wolfe and Giovannetti (121) have shown that the isocaloric substitution of protein (23 % of energy) for carbohydrate in moderately
hypercholesterolemic subjects resulted in significant decreases in total, LDL, and VLDL cholesterol and triacylglycerols and an increase in HDL cholesterol.
Seventeen
hypercholesterolemic male subjects were given macadamia nuts (40 to 90 grams per day) for a period of four weeks, which was followed by an expected increase in blood monounsaturated fatty acids.
In total 115 moderately
hypercholesterolemic non-statin treated adults (25 - 70 y) were randomly assigned to an experimental diet group (Ex-diet group) or control diet group (C - diet group) for eight weeks with commercially available food items with different fatty acid composition (replacing saturated fatty acids with mostly n - 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids).
Recent evidence suggests that inhibitors of PCSK9, a liver enzyme involved in regulating cholesterol homeostasis, could provide an effective alternative or adjunct to statin therapy in high -
risk hypercholesterolemic patients.
Instead of using these invasive and complicated procedures to obtain cells
from hypercholesterolemic patients, Dr Si - Tayeb decided to use a more convenient source of human cells: urine.
And even earlier, Ahrens and colleagues (1957) had shown that adding coconut oil to the diet of
hypercholesterolemics lowers serum cholesterol from, e.g., 450 mg / dl to 367 mg / dl.
Dietary hydrogenated fat increases high - density lipoprotein apo A-I catabolism and decreases low - density lipoprotein apo B - 100 catabolism in hypercholesterolemic women
The combination of prebiotic and probiotic has synergistic effects because in addition to promoting growth of existing strains of beneficial bacteria in the colon, synbiotics also act to improve the survival, implantation, and growth of newly added probiotic strains... The combination of probiotics and prebiotics significantly reduces the serum cholesterol level and that can be used as an alternative remedy for
hypercholesterolemic problems without any side effects to the consumers.
Paleolithic nutrition improves plasma lipid concentrations of
hypercholesterolemic adults to a greater extent than traditional heart - healthy dietary recommendations.
It was previously reported that administering an aqueous extract of garlic for 2 mo decreased cholesterol levels (28 %) in 5
hypercholesterolemic patients (20).
Methods: We measured levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) AD biomarkers following 14 weeks of treatment with simvastatin (a CNS permeant statin; n = 10) at 40 mg / day or pravastatin (a CNS impermeant statin; n = 13) at 80 mg / day in
hypercholesterolemic subjects without dementia.
Studies that supposedly showed
a hypercholesterolemic effect of coconut oil feeding, in fact, usually only showed that coconut oil was not as effective at lowering the serum cholesterol as was the more unsaturated fat being compared.
«Orange juice decreases low - density lipoprotein cholesterol in
hypercholesterolemic subjects and improves lipid transfer to high - density lipoprotein in normal and hypercholesterolemic subjects.»
Soluble fibres such as pectin, guar gum, betaglucans (oat) reduce significantly blood cholesterol both in
hypercholesterolemic and normocholesterolemic individuals, effects not found when non-soluble fibres such as cellulose and wheat bran are tried.
