title: Effect of dietary carbohydrate type on lipoprotein lipase, hepatic lipase, and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activities in cynomolgus monkeys.
abstract: The effects of dietary sucrose and starch with and without exogenous cholesterol on postheparin plasma lipoprotein lipase (PHLA) and hepatic lipase (HLA) were studied in cynomolgus monkeys. Serum triglyceride levels were higher in sucrose-fed animals than starch and exogenous cholesterol lowered serum triglyceride levels when added to sucrose diet but not starch diets. Sucrose markedly increased insulin levels, more so than starch; however, dietary cholesterol lowered insulin levels in sucrose diet but increased the levels in starch diet. PHLA activity was increased two- to threefold greater in sucrose than in starch diets. Exogenous cholesterol lowered PHLA activity in sucrose diet but increased PHLA activity in starch diet. HLA activity was increased with sucrose more than starch. Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity was significantly higher in sucrose diets than in the starch diet. Addition of cholesterol to either of these diets lowered the LCAT activity. These results indicate that PHLA, HLA, and LCAT activities not only are affected by the nature of carbohydrates, but also are related to triglyceride metabolism. The interaction of carbohydrates and cholesterol in the diet by influencing these selected enzymes plays an integrated role in lipoprotein particle interconversion processes.
