To review:
The ranking of three diets from best to worst according to their potential effect on cardiovascular health. The results of the study are shown in the table given below:
Effect of Diet on Lipoprotein levels (mg/dL or milligram per deciliter) | ||||
cis Fatty acids | Trans Fatty acids | Saturated Fats | Optimal level | |
LDL | 103 | 117 | 121 | <100 |
HDL | 55 | 48 | 55 | >40 |
LDL-to-HDL ratio | 1.87 | 2.43 | 2.2 | <2 |
Introduction:
Lipoproteins are referred to as the proteins that are covalently linked to the lipid groups. They are mostly found in the group of biomolecular complexes that are present in the blood plasma of mammals (humans). Plasma lipoproteins help in the transportation of different lipid molecules from one organ to another through the bloodstream. The lipid component of lipoproteins is insoluble in water due to the presence of amphipathic properties. These surrounding protein molecules and other phospholipid molecules make the lipoprotein water-soluble and thus, help in their transportation into the blood or lymph.

- Effects of Dietary Fats on Lipoprotein Levels Cholesterol that is made by the liver or that enters the body from food does not dissolve in blood, so it is carried through the bloodstream by lipoproteins. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) carries cholesterol to body tissues such as artery walls, where it can form deposits associated with cardiovascular disease. Thus, LDL is often called bad cholesterol. Highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) carries cholesterol away from tissues to the liver for disposal, so HDL is often called good cholesterol. In 1990, Ronald Mensink and Martijn Katan published a study that tested the effects of different dietary fats on blood lipoprotein levels. Their results are shown in Figure 2.23. In which group was the level of LDL (bad cholesterol) highest?arrow_forwardEffects of Dietary Fats on Lipoprotein Levels Cholesterol that is made by the liver or that enters the body from food does not dissolve in blood, so it is carried through the bloodstream by lipoproteins.

Figure 2.23 Effect of diet on lipoprotein levels. Researchers placed 59 men and women on a diet in which 10 percent of their daily energy intake consisted of cis fatty acids, trans fatty acids, or saturated fats. Blood LDL and HDL levels were measured after three weeks on the diet; averaged results are shown in mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter of blood). All subjects were tested on each of the diets. The ratio of LDL to HDL is also shown. Source, Mensink RP, Katan MB, Effect of dietary trans fatty acids on high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in healthy subjects.

O Consume more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as those found in olive oil, fish, nuts, and avocados instead of saturated fats found in red meats. O Increase consumption of oats, legumes, and soy products that may help lower blood cholesterol levels.
