``... several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food consumption including infertility, immune dysregulation, accelerated aging, dysregulation of genes associated
with cholesterol synthesis, insulin regulation, cell signaling, and protein formation, and changes in the liver, kidney, spleen and gastrointestinal system.»

Kahn and his team suspected that reduced
cholesterol synthesis interferes
with brain synapses.
Despite this possibility, mevinolin, the active ingredient in red yeast rice, is capable of reducing 7 - dehydrocholesterol levels, 22 and simvistatin (Zocor) not only inhibits the
synthesis of mevalonate but also enhances the conversion of 7 - dehydrocholesterol to
cholesterol by increasing the expression of 7 - DHCR.23 Simvistatin thereby hits the pool of 7 - dehydrocholesterol
with a double - whammy, both decreasing its
synthesis and increasing its degradation.
Cholesterol - lowering statin drugs could theoretically interfere
with the
synthesis or functioning of the vitamin D - binding protein (DBP).
Increased enterohepatic circulation on high fat means that
cholesterol is kept «in play» - bounced back into the bloodstream in ApoB particles - while low enterohepatic circulation, in people
with with higher
synthesis rates, during weight loss - when
cholesterol is being dumped by shrinking cells - means that
cholesterol can pile up in the gall bladder faster than it can be conjugated to bile salts and bile acids and faster than it can be extracted by the weak stimulus of low fat food.
Hi George, Seems like i belong to the first type «One type featured high rates of
cholesterol (re) absorption
with low rates of cellular
cholesterol synthesis.
One type featured high rates of
cholesterol (re) absorption
with low rates of cellular
cholesterol synthesis.
The other type featured low rates of
cholesterol (re) absorption and high rates of intracellular
cholesterol synthesis, associated
with low HDL, high event rates, and a significant benefit of statin treatment, which lowered event rates to those of the first group on or off statin.
This complex
synthesis involves 37 steps and starts
with a key enzyme known as HMG - CoA reductase (inhibited by statins, a class of
cholesterol - lowering drugs).
CoQ10 deficiency can result from deficiency of any of the seven vitamins required for its
synthesis, or by interference
with its
synthesis by
cholesterol - lowering drugs or hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Any pharmaceutically - induced disruption in endogenous
synthesis of
cholesterol — especially when combined
with long - standing, population - wide recommendations to limit dietary intake — would starve the struggling brain of this absolutely critical nutrient.
For example the most powerful increaser of total
cholesterol is probably lauric acid, but lauric acid is also the most powerful reducer of the LDL - to - HDL -
cholesterol ratio — this is consistent
with lauric acid being burned for quick energy, thus increasing the energy state of the liver cell and allowing for greater
cholesterol synthesis.
In the case of heart disease, recent research has shown that pear fibers are able to bind together
with bile acids in the intestine, lowering the pool of bile acids and decreasing the
synthesis of
cholesterol.
Thus it makes sense, and helps to keep
cholesterol in balance
with requirements, that
cholesterol synthesis is stimulated by insulin (the fed state hormone) and inhibited by glucagon (the fasting state hormone).
A reduction in dietary carbohydrate will have the opposite effect and this, coupled
with the additional inhibition by dietary
cholesterol and fats on endogenous
synthesis, is likely to be the mechanism via which physiological ketosis can improve lipid profiles.
Viscous fibers may interfere
with the absorption and enterohepatic recirculation of bile acids and
cholesterol in the intestine, forcing the liver to synthesize more
cholesterol to meet the need for bile acid
synthesis, and thus decreasing circulating
cholesterol.
