The effects of low cholesterol, high polyunsaturated fat, and low fat diets on plasma lipid and lipoprotein cholesterol levels in normal and hypercholesterolemic subjects

EJ Schaefer, RI Levy, ND Ernst, FD Van Sant and HB Brewer Jr

The effects of various cholesterol-lowering diets on plasma lipid and lipoprotein cholesterol levels were assessed in normal and hypercholesterolemic subjects. The base-line diet was an ad libitum hospital diet of normal composition. Diet A was a 20% protein, 40% carbohydrate, 40% fat, polyunsaturated:saturated fat ratio 0.1 to 0.3, 250 to 300 mg cholesterol diet, diet B was identical to diet A except that the polyunsaturated/saturated fat ratio was 1.8 to 2.2, and diet C was a 20% protein, 80% carbohydrate, very low fat (5 to 10 g), polyunsaturated/saturated fat ratio 0.1 to 0.3, 150 to 200 mg cholesterol diet. Diet A (low cholesterol) caused mean reductions in plasma, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol of 5.9, 5.6, and 6.3%, respectively, in 11 normal subjects. Diet B (low cholesterol, high polyunsaturated fat) caused significant decreases in plasma cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol of 17.0, 16.2, and 17.4%, respectively, in 12 normal subjects; and reductions of 11.0, 10.8, and 17.1%, respectively, in 19 hypercholesterolemic subjects. Diet C (low cholesterol, very low fat) produced significant mean decreases in plasma, LDL, and HDL cholesterol of 26.7, 29.9, and 27.9%, respectively, in 11 normal subjects, and in nine hypercholesterolemic patients of 22.6, 27.2, and 28.6%, respectively. The reductions in plasma cholesterol caused by these diets were therefore due to decreases in both LDL and HDL cholesterol with no significant changes in the LDL cholesterol:HDL cholesterol ratio.
