Effect of Low Sugar Intake upon Blood Lipids and Insulin Levels of Hyperlipemic Subjects 1

Abstract

Summary

The intake of simple sugars of 6 moderately hypertriglyceridemic, hypercholesterolemic subjects was reduced for 60 days. This restriction led to a moderate weight loss, a normalization of their previously elevated pre-beta lipoprotein levels and a moderate decrease in their pre- and postprandial hypertriglyceridemia. The elevated serum cholesterol and pre- and postprandial serum insulin levels were not normalized by the dietary change.
