This study was performed to investigate the effect of chitosan and NOCC from different sources and of different molecular weights on lipid metabolism. Sprague-Dawley rats were blocked into 26 groups according to body weight, and were raised for 4 weeks. Cadmium chloride was given at the level of 0 or 400 ppm in diet. Various chitosan and NOCC sources were given at the level of 0%(w/w) of diet. Total serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride concentrations were little affected by chitosan and NOCC supplements. However, HDL-cholesterol concentration and HDL : total cholesterol ratio were increased , and liver lipid, cholesterol , and triglyceride concentration were decreased by chitosan and NOCC supplements. The cholesterol and lipid lowering activity depends on fiber sources(crab and shrimp); type (chitosan and NOCC); and molecular weight(low , medium , and high). Among cadmium-free groups, chitosan-fed groups showed greater activity than NOCC -fed groups in lowering cholesterol and lipid levels, and greater fecal excretion of lipids and bile acids. Crab chitosans were more effective in cholesterol and lipid lowering activity than shrimp chitosans. The group fed high molecular weight crab chitosan showed the highest fecal excretion of lipids and bile acids. This indicated that high molecular weight crab chitosan was most effective in interfering with cholesterol and lipid absorption.

This study was conducted to investigate dietary lipid intakes and the plasma lipoprotein levels and fatty acid composition of eight healthy young Korean women for 7 days. After an overnight fast, blood samples were taken on the last day of dietary survey. The plasma were fractinated to very low-density lipoprotein(VLDL), low-density lipoprotein(LDL), and high-density lipoprotein(HDL) by ultracentrifugation. From each fraction, the content of triglyceride (TG), phospholipid(PL), cholesterol(CHOL), free fatty acid(FFA) and protein were determined. Fatty acid composition of total plasma lipid was alos analyzed. The subjects consumed 34.7$\pm$2.8g of fat daily. The ingested amounts of EPA and DHA were 0.2 and 0.4g/day, respectively. They also consumed 112.2$\pm$12.9mg of cholesterol per day. The concentrations of VLDL, LDL and HDL in the plasma were 66.5$\pm$6.1, 114.0$\pm$8.8 and 129.4$\pm$5.1mg/dL, respectively, so the percentages of VLDL, LDL, and HDL were 20.7, 44.8 and 34.5%, respectively. The VLDL was composed of 27.5mg/dL of TG, 39.7 of PL, 58.8 of CHOL, 3.1 of FFA, and 22.4 of protein. The HDL had 10.7mg/dL of TG, 23.7 of PL, 18.7 of CHOL, 2.6 of FFA, and 73.7 of protein. In the plasma, linoleic acid was the most abundant fatty acid, followed by palmitic and oleic acid, the percentages of these 3 fatty acids were 30.8, 23.4 and 17.7%, respectively. The result indicated that the plasma levels of lipoprotein in the healthy young Korean women were slightly low and the levels of EPA and DHA were relatively high, compared to the data of other investigatiors. This might be due to the fact that they consumed less fat and cholesterol and higher EPA and DHA.

Apolipoprotein (apo) C-III is a marker protein of triacylglycerol (TG)-rich lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and has been proposed as a risk factor of coronary heart disease. To compare the physiologic role of reconstituted HDL (rHDL) with or without apoC-III, we synthesized rHDL with molar ratios of apoA-I:apoC-III of 1:0, 1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:2. Increasing the apoC-III content in rHDL produced smaller rHDL particles with a lower number of apoA-I molecules. Furthermore, increasing the molar ratio of apoC-III in rHDL enhanced the surfactant-like properties and the ability to lyse dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine. Furthermore, rHDL containing apoC-III was found to be more resistant to particle rearrangement in the presence of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) than rHDL that contained apoA-I alone. In addition, the lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activation ability was reduced as the apoC-III content of the rHDL increased; however, the CE transfer ability was not decreased by the increase of apoC-III. Finally, rHDL containing apoC-III aggravated the production of MDA in cell culture media, which led to increased cellular uptake of LDL. Thus, the addition of apoC-III to rHDL induced changes in the structural and functional properties of the rHDL, especially in particle size and rearrangement and LCAT activation. These alterations may lead to beneficial functions of HDL, which is involved in anti-atherogenic properties in the circulation.

Purpose: This study was done to identify correlates and variables predicting daily activity among elders with Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Methods: Seventy-six elders registered in the Department of Endocrine Medicine at C university hospital participated in data collection. Data on daily activity and biochemical variables were collected via actigraph accelerator (Actical) and blood tests between September 2009 and July 2010. Data analysis was done using SPSS WIN 15.0 program and included one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: This study showed a positive correlation between daily activity and High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) and a negative correlation among Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), and Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C). The variables predicting daily activity were frequency of exercise, HDL-C, and TC. These factors accounted for 40.0% of the variance of daily activity in elders with DM. Conclusion: The results indicate that it is necessary to improve daily activity to reduce Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), TC, and TG in elders with DM.

This study was performed to investigate the changes of the serological parameters of the rats fed a high fat and high cholesterol diets with or without quercetin supplement for five weeks. Thirty Sprague-Dawley male rats ($152.1{\pm}17.0\;g$ of body weight) were randomly divided into three groups with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the control(C) group were fed the high fat and high cholesterol diet containing 15% lard, 2% cholesterol and 0.5% sodium cholate (w/w). Rats in two treatment groups were fed the same diet supplemented with 0.25% quercetin (Q-0.25) or 0.5% quercetin (Q-0.5) on the weight to weight basis, respectively. The final body weight, gain of body weight, the amount of feed intake and the feed efficiency of rats in between control and treatment groups were not significantly different. Serum glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio of rats showed no significant differences between control and treatment groups. Serum total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and atherogenic index(AI) of rats in both Q-0.25 and Q-0.5 groups were significantly lower than in C group (p < 0.05). However serum high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly higher in both Q-0.25 and Q-0.5 groups than in C group (p < 0.05). The levels of triglyceride in sera of rats showed no significant differences between control and treatment groups. The values of AST and ALT in sera of rats showed no significant differences between control and treatment groups. Therefore the supplementation of quercetin to high fat and high cholesterol diet in rats was effective in reducing the levels of serum lipids to cause cardiovascular diseases and in elevating the level of HDL-C to protect cardiovascular diseases.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence, risk factors of metabolic syndrome, and lifestyle in religious women by age and metabolic syndrome status between the metabolic syndrome group and the normal group. Methods: As the subjects for this study, 125 religious women in the city of D, H, S, Y, participated in this study. The diagnostic criterion of metabolic syndrome used was the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was higher as the religious women got older. The metabolic syndrome group in their forties showed higher waist circumference, triglycerides, and lower HDL-cholesterol than the normal group. Among those in their fifties, the metabolic syndrome group had higher waist circumference, fasting glucose, triglyceride and lower HDL-cholesterol than the normal group. In their sixties, the metabolic syndrome group had higher fasting glucose, triglyceride and systolic blood pressure than the normal group. Conclusion: The metabolic syndrome group in their forties showed that their practice rate of 'trying to avoid stresses at work', 'taking prescription medicines' was low. For those in their fifties, the practice rate of 'reducing overeating' and 'choice of low fat meats' was low. Finally, in the group of those in their sixties, 'reducing fried foods' was low.

본 연구의 조사대상자는 전남 신안군 완도면 지역의 46세에서 83세 사이의 남자 88명과 여자 99명 총 187명을 대상으로 식생활의 서구화와 함께 최근 우리나라에서 급증하고 있는 심혈관질환과 당뇨병의 유발요인, 도서지역 주민의 식행동과의 관련성에 관한 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 전보에서 보고한 바와 같이(41) 조사대상자의 남녀 평균 연령은 각각 65.14세, 64.92세였고 평균 신장은 161.16 cm, 151.64 cm, 평균 체중은 63.03 kg, 56.46 kg, 평균 BMI는 24.33 $kg/m^2$, 24.48 $kg/m^2$, 평균 WHR은 0.94, 0.94였다. 일주일간의 아침식사 횟수는 남녀 모두 연령별, 성별 차이는 없었다. 매일 아침식사를 하는 사람은 남자 88.6%, 여자 96.0%로 여자의 매일 아침식사 비율이 남자보다 높았다. 과식정도는 남자는 연령 군별 차이가 있었고(p<0.01) 여자는 연령과 성별에 따른 차이는 없었다. 남자는 연령이 낮은 집단일수록 과식횟수가 유의적으로 많았는데(p<0.01) 여자도 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 이는 활동량과 현업종사 등의 이유일 것으로 보인다. 식사시간의 규칙성은 남녀 각각 규칙적 식사 38.6%, 37.4%, 때때로 규칙적 14.8%, 19.2%, 불규칙 46.6%, 43.4%로 각 군별 차이는 없었다. 식사량은 남자는 연령에 따라 차이가 없었으나 여자는 차이가 있었다(p<0.001). 여자는 나이가 많은 연령 군일수록 적게 먹었으며 많이 먹는다고 한 군은 60세 이하가 가장 많았고(69.2%) 연령 군별 식사량은 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 식사속도는 남녀 모두 연령별로 유의적인 차이가 있었고(p<0.05, p<0.01) 성별에 따른 차이도 있었다(p< 0.001). 남자는 빠르게(67%) 여자는 보통보다 느리게(67.5%) 먹는 것으로 나타났으며 성별에 따른 식사속도의 차이가 있었다(p<0.001). 아침식사 횟수는 매일, 주당 1${\sim}$2회, 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 사람의 혈중 중성지방 수준이 남자는 각각 151.88 mg/dL, 120.25 mg/dL, 175.00 mg/dL, 여자는 각각 145.78 mg/dL, 95.00 mg/dL, 100.00 mg/dL로써 세군 간에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. Total-cholesterol은 아침식사를 매일, 주당 1${\sim}$2회, 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 군이 남자는 각각 195.78 mg/dL, 161.00 mg/dL, 160.00 mg/dL로 매일 먹는 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.001), 여자도 각각 171.24 mg/dL, 90.00 mg/dL, 88.50 mg/dL로 남자와 마찬가지로 매일 먹는 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.001). 이 지역 주민의 혈청 콜레스테롤 평균이 한국인 정상 범위에 속하긴 하였으나 매일 아침식사를 하지 않는 여자의 혈청 총콜레스테롤이 108 mg/dL에도 미치지 못하는 것은 연령, 빈도의 차이 등 여러 요인이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 동맥경화 유발인자 중 하나인 LDL-cholesterol은 남자가 매일 먹는 군이 가장 낮게 나타났으며 여자는 아침식사를 매일, 주당 1${\sim}$2회, 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 군이 각각 112.80 mg/dL, 70.00 mg/dL, 78.00 mg/dL로 매일 아침식사를 하는 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). HDL-cholesterol은 남자는 세군 간에 차이를 보이지는 않았으며 여자는 아침식사를 매일, 주당 1${\sim}$2회, 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 군이 각각 49.39 mg/dL, 75.00 mg/dL, 72.00 mg/dL로 아침식사를 매일 하는 군에 비해 다른 두 군이 유의적으로 낮게 나타나 이는 지질대사의 변화와 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다(p<0.001). Atherogenic index는 아침식사를 매일, 주당 1${\sim}$2회, 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 사람 군이 남자는 각각 2.08, 2.87, 1.26으로 아침을 1${\sim}$2회 먹는 군과 3${\sim}$4회 먹는 군 사이에 유의적인 차이를 보였고(p<0.001), blood sugar는 남녀 모두 각 군별 유의적인 차이가 없었으며 본 조사대상자의 평균은 정상 범위에 있었다. 과식 정도에 따른 혈중지질, 혈당 수준을 살펴보면 혈중 중성지방은 남자는 일주일에 0${\sim}$1회, 2${\sim}$3회 과식이 각각 130.65 mg/dL, 154.06 mg/dL로 일주일에 2${\sim}$3회 과식하는 군이 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 여자는 차이가 없었다. Total cholesterol은 남자가 일주일에 0${\sim}$1회, 2${\sim}$3회 과식하는 군이 각각 191.39 mg/dL, 181.76 mg/dL, 여자는 각각 167.92 mg/dL, 168.00 mg/dL로 남자는 0${\sim}$1회 과식하는 군이, 여자는 2${\sim}$3회 과식하는 군이 높게 조사되어 여성의 경우 남성과는 다른 양상을 보였는데 이는 본 연구대상 여성은 46세 이상으로 대부분이 폐경이 되어 지질대사의 변화와 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다. LDL-cholesterol은 남자는 차이가 없었으며 여자는 각각 112.63 mg/dL, 98.80 mg/dL로 일주일에 2${\sim}$3회 과식하는 군이 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). HDL-cholesterol은 남자 각각 58.76 mg/dL, 51.59 mg/dL, 여자 각각 50.93 mg/dL, 45.30 mg/dL로 과식 횟수가 적은 군이 높게 나타나 좋은 식습관이 심혈관질환을 예방하는 것으로 알려진 HDL-cholesterol의 농도를 높이는 것으로 볼 수 있다. Atherogenic index는 남자가 각각 1.87, 2.19로 과식 횟수가 많은 군이 높은 경향을 보였고, 여자는 2.50, 2.43으로 남자와는 반대의 결과를 보였고 여자는 0${\sim}$1회 과식하는 군이 HDL-cholesterol이 높은데도 atherogenic index가 높은 것은 여성의 경우 폐경을 전후로 에스트로겐이 감소하여 당대사 및 지질대사에 영향을 미치기 때문으로 보인다. Blood sugar는 남자가 각각 84.34 mg/dL, 95.59 mg/dL로 일주일에 2${\sim}$3회 과식하는 군이 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.05), 여자도 각각 90.19 mg/dL, 99.80 mg/dL로 남자와 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 식사시간이 규칙적, 때때로 규칙적, 불규칙적인 군들 간에 혈중 중성지방은 유의성은 없지만 두군 모두 식사 시간이 불규칙적인 군이 높게 나타났다. Total-cholesterol은 남자가 각각 177.79 mg/dL, 216.85 mg/dL, 190.61 mg/dL로 식사시간이 때때로 불규칙적인 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.05), 여자는 각각 157.43 mg/dL, 159.53 mg/dL, 181.81 mg/dL로 식사시간이 규칙적인 군과 불규칙적인 군이 유의적인 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). LDL-cholesterol은 두군 모두 유의적인 차이는 없었다. HDL-cholesterol은 남자는 각각 54.49 mg/dL, 54.69 mg/dL, 50.50 mg/dL로 식사시간이 불규칙적인 군이 다른 두 군보다 낮았고 여자는 각각 49.58 mg/dL, 53.05 mg/dL, 49.89 mg/dL로 때때로 불규칙적인 군이 가장 높게 나타나 혈청지질은 연령, 성별, 식습관, 생활양식 등에 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. Atherogenic index는 남자가 각각 1.80, 2.20, 2.38로 불규칙적인 군이 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.01), 여자도 비슷한 결과를 보였다. Blood sugar는 남자가 각각 75.35 mg/dL, 115.31 mg/dL, 86.63 mg/dL로 때때로 불규칙적인 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 높았고(p<0.01), 여자는 각각 79.00 mg/dL, 89.59 mg/dL, 99.56 mg/dL로 불규칙적인 군이 규칙적인 군에 비해 유의적으로 높아(p<0.05), 식사시간이 불규칙적일수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 평소의 식사량이 적은 군, 보통, 많이 먹는 군의 남자는 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 보통 이상 먹는 군의 혈중 지질수준이 높았고 여자는 각각 148.69 mg/dL, 133.59 mg/dL, 148.69 mg/dL로 보통으로 먹는 군이 다른 두 군에 비해 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). Total-cholesterol과 LDL-cholesterol은 남녀 모두 많이 먹는 군이 가장 높게 조사되었다. HDL-cholesterol은 남녀 모두 적게 먹는 군이 가장 높게 조사되었다. Atherogenic index는 남녀 모두 식사량이 많을수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. Blood sugar는 남녀 모두 유의성은 없지만 식사량이 많을수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 식사량이 많으면 total-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, atherogenic index, blood sugar는 높고 HDL-cholesterol은 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 식사속도는 매우 빨리, 빨리, 보통, 천천히, 매우 천천히 먹는다고 답한 군들의 혈중 중성지방은 남자는 각각 131.43 mg/dL, 158.11 mg/dL, 281.50 mg/dL, 112.13 mg/dL, 139.60 mg/dL로 식사 속도가 보통이라고 답한 군은 다른 군들에 비해 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.001). 여자는 각각 155.25 mg/dL, 146.91 mg/dL, 115.40 mg/dL, 165.93 mg/dL, 146.57 mg/dL로 보통인 군이 가장 낮아 남자와는 상반된 결과를 보였고, 보통과 매우 빠르다, 천천히 먹는다고 한 군들 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). Total-cholesterol은 남자가 각각 183.57 mg/dL, 195.18 mg/dL, 215.50 mg/dL, 188.53 mg/dL, 163.60 mg/dL로 보통이다, 매우 느리다고 한 군들 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였으며(p<0.05) 여자는 차이가 없었다. LDL-cholesterol은 남자가 각각 110.71 mg/dL, 118.07 mg/dL, 150.00 mg/dL, 125.60 mg/dL, 126.80 mg/dL로 보통이라고 답한 군이 다른 군들 간에 유의적 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). HDL-cholesterol은 남자가 각각 54.00 mg/dL, 53.62 mg/dL, 41.50 mg/dL, 54.93 mg/dL, 50.30 mg/dL로 보통 또는 천천히 먹는다고 답한 군들 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였으며(p<0.05) 여자는 차이를 보이지 않았다. Atherogenic index는 남자가 보통으로 먹는 군이, 여자는 매우 빨리와 천천히 먹는다고 답한 군이 약간 높았다. Blood sugar는 남자가 각각 81.00 mg/dL, 80.22 mg/dL, 76.50 mg/dL, 112.73 mg/dL, 87.20 mg/dL로 천천히 먹는다고 한 군이 다른 군들과 비교하여 유의적으로 높았으며(p<0.01) 여자는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 아침식사의 규칙성과 혈중지질 농도와의 관계를 살펴보면, 남녀 모두 규칙적으로 아침식사를 하는 경우에 혈청 총콜레스테롤 농도와 혈당이 높게 나타났고 특히 여자는 LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol 농도도 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 과식횟수는 남녀 모두 과식횟수가 적을수록 HDL-cholesterol 농도는 높고, 혈당은 낮았고, 남자의 경우에는 혈청 중성지방과 LDL-cholesterol 농도가 낮았다. 식사시간의 규칙성은 규칙적인 식사를 하면 남녀 모두 혈청 중성지방 농도, 총 cholesterol 농도, 동맥경화지수, 혈당이 낮았고, 여자는 LDL-cholesterol 농도도 낮았다. 한 번 먹을 때의 식사량은 남녀 모두 많이 먹으면 혈청 중성지방 농도와 총 cholesterol 및 LDL-cholesterol 농도, 동맥경화지수, 혈당이 높게 나타났고, HDL-cholesterol 농도는 남자는 낮았고 여자는 높게 조사되었다. 따라서 과식횟수가 적고 식사시간이 규칙적이며, 1회 섭취량이 적을수록 혈청내의 지질조성, 혈당 및 동맥경화지수가 적당한 상태로 나타나서 심혈관질환의 예방에 도움을 줄 수 있는 식사행동으로 보여진다. 본 결과를 토대로 중${\cdot}$장년층을 대상으로 식사의 규칙성과 섭취 적당량에 대한 영양교육도 이루어지기를 기대한다.

Dietary karaya saponin and Rhodobacter capsulatus (R. capsulatus) are known to have hypocholesterolemic actions, as reported in our previous studies. This study examined possible synergistic hypocholesterolemic effects of karaya saponin and R. capsulatus in broilers. A total of 150 broilers were allocated into 10 treatments: control, saponin 25 mg, saponin 50 mg, saponin 75 mg, saponin 25 mg+R. capsulatus 0.2 g, saponin 25 mg+R. capsulatus 0.4 g, saponin 50 mg+R. capsulatus 0.2 g, saponin 50 mg+R. capsulatus 0.4 g, saponin 75 mg+R. capsulatus 0.2 g and saponin 75 mg+R. capsulatus 0.4 g. Feed intake and feed efficiency were improved when karaya saponin and R. capsulatus were synergistically supplemented in the diet. Combinations of karaya saponin, especially supplementation of karaya saponin 50 mg+R. capsulatus 0.4 g were shown to have potential hypolipidemic actions in breast and thigh muscle cholesterol and triglycerides, serum cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as improved high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (p<0.05). Compared to the control, almost all the treatments significantly increased serum, liver and fecal concentrations of bile acids (p<0.05). Supplementation of both karaya saponin (75 mg) and saponin 50 mg+R. capsulatus 0.4 g reduced palmitic acid (C16:0) and stearic acid (C18:0) in a similar fashion (p<0.05). The ratios of PUFA:SFA or PUFA+MUFA:SFA in the thigh and breast muscle of broilers were greater in karaya saponin and R. capsulatus supplemented groups than in the control group. Thus, our study concluded that supplementation of karaya saponin synergistically with R. capsulatus in the diet of broilers is an effective way to obtain low-cholesterol, low-triglyceride and high HDL-cholesterol enriched poultry meat with a unique fatty acid balance.

Dietary habits and serum lipid composition of 80 hospitalized patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) were compared to those of normal subjects. CVD patients were significantly higher in BP, serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels and low4r in HDL-choelsterol which resulted in the higher ratio of serum chol/HDL-chol than normal. Patients were also lower in the relative amount of HDL fraction by electrophoresis but were higher in LDL fraction and the ratio of LDL/HDL . In Korean, the high levels of serum chol, TG and LDL with low level of HDL as well as high BP could be one of the important causing factors of CVD. However, dietary habits of patients were not significantly different from those of normal . There is a possibility that patients might have controlled their dietary habits after they realized the severeness of disease.

An increase in serum cholesterol is directly associated with high incidences of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and atherosclerosis. Serum lipid profiles are highly dependent on dietary fatty acids and age. The purpose of this study was to examine the age-related effects of polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratios and antioxidant supplementation under the control of the dietary peroxidizability index (PI) value on serum lipid profiles in rats. While the PI level of dietary fatty acids was controlled at 81.22, the P/S ratios of fatty acids were 0.38 and 4.81 (LP and HP). The diets were supplemented with a vitamin E 1000 mg/kg diet and a selenium 2.5 mg/kg diet (LPS and HPS). Female Sprague-Dawley rats ages 3 weeks (young) and 16 weeks (adult) were fed four different experimental diets for 4 weeks. The serum triglyceride concentration of LPS was significantly higher in young rats than in adult rats. The total-cholesterol concentration of LP and HPS were higher in young rats than in adult rats. The high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration of LP, LPS and HP was higher in adult rats than in young rats. The low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration was higher in young rats than in adult rats. T-C/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios were much higher in young rats than in adult rats. In conclusion, P/S ratios and antioxidant supplementation did not affect T-C/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios as risk factors of CVD in adult rats when we controlled the PI value in the diet Probably, the invisible and confounding effects of dietary PI value implicate the beneficial roles of dietary P/S ratios and antioxidants in CVD. Accordingly, controlling the dietary PI value may be advantageous to lower the risk of CVD in adult rats.
