Response of plasma lathosterol concentration to change in the quality of dietary fat in men and women

Article Abstract:

The substitution of dietary saturated fatty acids (SAFA) with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) decreases the lathosterol content more in men than in women. PUFA also decreases cholesterol synthesis in hypercholesterolemic men and removes the gender-associated differences in cholesterol synthesis. Men and women show a similar decrease in cholesterol level, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol. The lathosterol and lathosterol/cholesterol level in men is higher during SUFA diets and baseline conditions but similar to that in women during PUFA diets.

The effect of increased egg consumption on plasma cholesteryl ester transfer activity in healthy subjects

Article Abstract:

Healthy men and women were given a 12-day daily intake of an extra large egg which contains about 250 mg cholesterol. Plasma newly synthesized cholesteryl ester transfer (NCET) activity was measured prior to and after the 12-day intervention period. The results showed that an increase in cholesterol intake causes a decrease in plasma NCET activity especially among women, older men and individuals with habitual high cholesterol intake. This indicates that the reduced transfer of cholesteryl esters to lipoproteins is a beneficial adaptation to increased cholesterol intake.
