“…In human infants fed breast milk or cow's milk formula, the plasma cholesterol also rises during the suckling period (9) but remains high after weaning (11,19). As a result, humans have higher plasma cholesterol levels than other animal species (6,17).…”

Influence of Diet on Plasma Cholesterol Concentrations in Suckling and Weanling Rabbits

Rabbits were weaned to different semipurified diets to determine which characteristics of the diet were required to maintain the hypercholesterolemia of the suckling period. Gradual weaning to a diet similar in fat, cholesterol, protein and carbohydrate content to rabbit milk maintained and enhanced the hypercholesterolemia. Reduction of the cholesterol content, and to some extent the fat content of this diet, decreased the plasma cholesterol level, but the type of dietary protein did not alter the results. After weaning, however, animals fed milk protein (casein) in the absence of dietary cholesterol became hypercholesterolemic, whereas those fed plant protein (soy protein isolate) remained normocholesterolemic.

“…Using the data published by Friedman and Goldberg [5] for comparison, the total cholesterol values of 14-to 16-year-old boys in Newfoundland were consistently higher than those of boys of a similar age or of older boys from other North American communi ties: 10 mg/dl higher for the East coast and 15 mg/dl for the West coast. The total choles terol values for 15-to 19-year-old girls from North America were 20-25 mg/dl lower than among girls, 14-16 years old, in the two regions of Newfoundland.…”

“…In order to compare the results obtained in this study with reports [5][6][7][8] of lipid levels in other North American white boys and girls, it is essential to consider the methods used for the lipid determinations. Since lip ids in this report were analyzed from serum, comparison with lipid determinations made from plasma would lead to falsely elevated lipid levels in our study.…”

Lipid and Lipoprotein Levels of Newfoundland School Children

1987

Serum concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and VLDL cholesterol were measured in 1,033 boys and girls age 8–10 years and 14–16 years who were living in two geographically distinct areas on the East and West coast of Newfoundland. The respondents enrolled to this study were school children attending four schools selected at random from all schools in the area. Ninety percent of the invited students participated in the study. The Newfoundland children had higher total cholesterol levels than those reported for children matched for age, sex and race living in the United States. However, their LDL cholesterol levels were found to be similar to those observed in US samples. It was concluded, therefore, that the higher total cholesterol levels of the Newfoundland children were due to their higher HDL cholesterol levels.

“…Serum cholesterol concentrations have been reported to rise during childhood, 19,20 although other investigators have found no such increase 21,22 . A decrease in serum cholesterol after the growth spurt of adolescence has also been reported 23,24 …”
