Blood cholesterol levels are affected by diet and in particular by the type of fat intake. We originally showed that a significant but variable amount of cholesterol is firmly bound to haemoglobin (Hb) yielding the Hb-lipid adduct (Hb-Ch) in erythrocytes isolated from normo-lipidemic males.
To establish whether dietary lipids affect the level of Hb-Ch in human erythrocytes.
Seventy-four healthy free-living adults were separated according to their serum cholesterol levels into two groups: normo-cholesterolemic (LDL cholesterol <3.4 mmol/l and total cholesterol <5.2 mmol/l) (NC) and hyper-cholesterolemic (LDL cholesterol >or=3.4 mmol/l) (HC). Habitual dietary information was used to classify subjects in both study groups into sub-groups of low-fat (<or=30% total energy as fat) and high-fat consumers (>30% total energy as fat). The NC low-fat consumers were placed on a high-lipid (high-fat and high-cholesterol) diet whereas the HC subjects with high-fat intake were assigned to a low-lipid (low-fat and low-cholesterol) diet. Both types of dietary intervention were allowed to continue for 6 weeks. The main variable under scrutiny was the Hb-Ch concentration.
In both study groups low-fat intake subjects had low levels of Hb-Ch (approx. 0.35 mmol/l RBC) compared with high-fat intake subjects (approx. 0.60 mmol/l RBC), and serum cholesterol was not correlated with Hb-Ch. The two dietary interventions produced substantial changes in the Hb-Ch level that paralleled variation in the serum cholesterol concentration. A high-lipid diet (35% fat, 15% saturated; 580 mg cholesterol) increased Hb-Ch (by approximately 47%, P<0.001) in subjects with low Hb-Ch at onset, whereas a low-lipid diet (28% fat, 9% saturated; 280 mg cholesterol) decreased Hb-Ch (by approximately 40%, P<0.001) in subjects with high Hb-Ch at onset.
High consumption of dietary lipids, including saturated fat and cholesterol, has an important influence on the level of Hb-Ch in human erythrocytes.
血液胆固醇水平受饮食影响,尤其是脂肪摄入类型。我们最初发现,在从血脂正常的男性中分离出的红细胞中,有相当数量但可变的胆固醇与血红蛋白(Hb)紧密结合,形成血红蛋白 - 脂质加合物(Hb - Ch)。
确定饮食中的脂质是否会影响人体红细胞中Hb - Ch的水平。
74名健康的自由生活成年人根据其血清胆固醇水平分为两组:正常胆固醇血症组(低密度脂蛋白胆固醇<3.4 mmol/l且总胆固醇<5.2 mmol/l)(NC)和高胆固醇血症组(低密度脂蛋白胆固醇≥3.4 mmol/l)(HC)。使用习惯性饮食信息将两个研究组中的受试者分为低脂(脂肪占总能量≤30%)和高脂消费者(脂肪占总能量>30%)亚组。NC低脂消费者采用高脂(高脂肪和高胆固醇)饮食,而高脂摄入的HC受试者则采用低脂(低脂肪和低胆固醇)饮食。两种饮食干预均持续6周。主要研究变量是Hb - Ch浓度。
在两个研究组中,低脂摄入受试者的Hb - Ch水平(约0.35 mmol/l红细胞)均低于高脂摄入受试者(约0.60 mmol/l红细胞),且血清胆固醇与Hb - Ch无相关性。两种饮食干预使Hb - Ch水平发生了显著变化,这与血清胆固醇浓度的变化平行。高脂饮食(35%脂肪,15%饱和脂肪;580 mg胆固醇)使起始Hb - Ch水平低的受试者的Hb - Ch升高(约47%,P<0.001),而低脂饮食(28%脂肪,9%饱和脂肪;280 mg胆固醇)使起始Hb - Ch水平高的受试者的Hb - Ch降低(约40%,P<0.001)。
高摄入包括饱和脂肪和胆固醇在内的饮食脂质对人体红细胞中Hb - Ch水平有重要影响。
