title: [Experimental study on effects of a high-sugar diet and physical exercise on serum phospholipids in young adults].
abstract: The life style of young adults has been receiving attention with a view to its improvement to prevent coronary heart diseases (CHD) later in life. In this study, to determining the influence of different life styles on the serum phospholipids level, we carried out experimental studies on the effects a high sugar diet and physical exercise on serum phospholipid levels. Considering the trend for young people to consume large quantities of carbonated drinks, in which most of the sugar is sucrose, we tested the effect of a high carbohydrate diet on one group of six healthy male subjects and did not find that it caused a significant increase in the serum phospholipids level. In another group of 108 healthy young female subjects, a mild exercise regimen results in a slight, but significant decrease in the serum phospholipid level (p < 0.01). The serum total cholesterol level of the group did not exhibit a significant change.
