A short-term increase in dietary cholesterol and fat intake affects high-density lipoprotein composition in healthy subjects

摘要

Background and Aims: High-cholesterol and high-fat diets alter biochemical composition and anti-oxidant properties of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in animals. Whether this occurs in humans is unknown. Therefore, we examined the effect of a short-term elevation in dietary cholesterol and fat intake on HDL composition in healthy subjects.
