Changes in Serum Lipid Levels of Hyperlipemic Patients Following the Feeding of Starch, Sucrose and Glucose

Serum triglyceride and serum cholesterol responses to the interchange of starch with sucrose or glucose in four patients with carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia, one with the mixed type of hypertriglyceridemia and one with essential hypercholesterolemia are reported. In all cases feeding of sucrose or glucose caused a marked increase in serum triglycerides whereas feeding of starch reduced serum triglyceride levels. In general, serum cholesterol followed the same pattern as serum triglyceride.

Metabolic differences between starch and di- or monosaccharides, which might explain their different effect on the blood lipids, are discussed.
