Impact of Dietary Lipids on the Reverse Cholesterol Transport: What We Learned from Animal Studies

Abstract: Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is a physiological mechanism protecting cells from an excessive accumulation of cholesterol. When this process begins in vascular macrophages, it acquires antiatherogenic properties, as has been widely demonstrated in animal models. Dietary lipids, despite representing a fundamental source of energy and exerting multiple biological functions, may induce detrimental effects on cardiovascular health. In the present review we summarize the current knowledge on the mechanisms of… Show more

“…Furthermore, because of the application of B. coagulans ALM 86 to calves, it was established that the level of total cholesterol decreased by 41.61% in the first experimental group, and by 58.95% in the second, compared to the control group (Wu et al, 2018). Cholesterol levels in the body are associated with cardiovascular disease (Papotti et al, 2021). An increase or decrease in cholesterol can have a negative effect on the health of animals.…”

“…Fatty acyl is classified into three groups based on their aliphatic tail length: short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) with fewer than 6 carbons (e.g., acetate, butyrate, propionate), medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) with 6-12 carbons (e.g., caprylic acid and lauric acid), and LCFAs with 12 or more carbons [50,51]. LCFAs and MCFAs are mainly generated from dietary triglycerides [52], whereas SCFAs are produced through the fermentation of dietary carbohydrates (fiber) by commensal bacteria [1,53].…”

“…Virgin coconut oil showed a beneficial role in lipid metabolism, and the effect on cardiovascular protection was ascribed to its capability to promote macrophage-specific reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). RCT measurement was suggested as a useful biological marker of cardiovascular risk depiction and played a valuable role in anti-atherogenesis [102,103]. Likewise, in a recent in vivo comparative study, virgin coconut oil, due to a vast content in lauric acid, appeared to mediate RCT via upregulation of the hepatic mRNA expression of SRB1 and ABCA1, certainly through the PPAR-α -LXR-α -ABCA1 signaling pathway in macrophages [103].…”
