Dietary saturated fatty acids (12:0, 14:0, 16:0) differ in their impact on plasma cholesterol and lipoproteins in nonhuman primates

Abstract: Three species of monkey (rhesus, cebus, and squirrel) were rotated through five purified diets containing 31% energy as various fat blends (P:S between 0.1 and 1.0) for 12-wk periods to compare the impact of specific dietary fatty acids on plasma lipids and lipoproteins. As 12:0 + 14:0 was replaced by 16:0, a significant decrease occurred in total and LDL cholesterol, whereas slight increases in total cholesterol and the LDL-HDL ratio occurred when 16:0 replaced 18:2.

“…Therefore, it may be difficult to discriminate whether the increase in cholesterolemia is due to variations in the myristic acid proportions and/or to variations in the P:S ratio. Nevertheless, a previous study [12] has shown that there is no significant difference in the total plasma cholesterol between rhesus monkey fed diets with a similar percentage of myristic acid but with a different P/S ratio. Moreover, in the present study, multiple regression analysis (Tab.…”

“…Myristic acid (C14:0), the main responsible for the increase in serum cholesterol concentration (HAYES et al, 1991), was determined as representing 5.76% and 6.96% of fat in the edible portion of the shoulder of castrated and non-castrated lambs, respectively (Table 5). Non-castrated lambs presented, in general, lower cholesterol contents (59.94 mg.100 g -1 ) than castrated lambs (72.52 mg.100 g -1 ) (p = 0.0001).…”

“…Furthermore, the effects of dietary FA can be modulated by dietary interactions. In non human primates and humans, 12.0 14:0 were more hypercholesterolemic than 16:0 Hayes et al, 1991;Sundram et al, 1991). In addition, in normocholesterolemic humans, dietary 16:0 can be exchanged for 18:1 (by the Table 6 Vitamin E concentrations in oleic acid-rich sun¯ower oil and palmolein and antioxidant vitamin concentrations in the plasma of all women, women with TC`6.21mmolaL (Normocholesterolemic) and women with TC !…”
