Influence of fat-rich versus carbohydrate-rich diets on bile acid kinetics, biliary lipids, and net steroid balance in hyperlipidemic subjects. 1980

E Andersén, and K Hellström

Altogether, 14 patients with hyperlipoproteinemia type IIA (n = 3), IIb (n = 4), or IV (n = 7) were maintained on diets in which 60% of the energy was supplied as fat or carbohydrates. The switch from the fat-rich to the carbohydrate-rich diet resulted in elevation of the plasma triglyceride levels. Although not consistent in all instances, the change of diet also resulted in an enhanced formation of both cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid and a higher contribution of deoxycholic acid in duodenal bile. Due to a reciprocal decrease in the excretion of neutral steroids in feces, the mean steroid balance remained unchanged. In all but four patients this switch of diets was associated with a decreased molar cholesterol concentration in duodenal bile obtained in the postabsorptive state.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006951	Hyperlipoproteinemias	Conditions with abnormally elevated levels of LIPOPROTEINS in the blood. They may be inherited, acquired, primary, or secondary. Hyperlipoproteinemias are classified according to the pattern of lipoproteins on electrophoresis or ultracentrifugation.	Hyperlipoproteinemia
D007328	Insulin	A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008074	Lipoproteins	Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes.	Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating

D002784	Cholesterol	The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils.	Epicholesterol
D004040	Dietary Carbohydrates	Carbohydrates present in food comprising digestible sugars and starches and indigestible cellulose and other dietary fibers. The former are the major source of energy. The sugars are in beet and cane sugar, fruits, honey, sweet corn, corn syrup, milk and milk products, etc.; the starches are in cereal grains, legumes (FABACEAE), tubers, etc. (From Claudio & Lagua, Nutrition and Diet Therapy Dictionary, 3d ed, p32, p277)	Carbohydrates, Dietary,Carbohydrate, Dietary,Dietary Carbohydrate
