The effect of supplementation with n-9, n-6, and n-3 fatty acids on plasma lipid, lipoprotein, apolipoprotein B concentrations, LDL particle size, and oxidative susceptibility of two LDL subfractions in postmenopausal womenLee, Ye-Sun 21 September 1999 (has links)
Current dietary recommendations have placed increasing emphasis on dietary fat
as an important element to decrease risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although total
fat and the fatty acid composition of diets influence the risk of CVD, the optimal amounts
of different fatty acids are not well defined, especially if n-6 and n-3 fatty acids are
considered. Despite the fact that postmenopausal women are at increased risk of CVD,
few studies have investigated the influence of dietary fatty acids on this risk. Therefore,
this study was designed to determine the effect of supplementation with different fatty
acids on risk factors of CVD in postmenopausal women. Sixteen healthy,
postmenopausal women were randomly assigned in a three-period crossover trial to
treatments of 15 g/d supplements of oleic acid-rich sunflower oil (TS), linoleic acid-rich safflower oil (SO), and eicosapentaenoic acid- and docosahexaenoic acid-rich fish oil
(FO). Each treatment period lasted 5 weeks followed by a 7-week washout interval.
When the women were supplemented with FO compared to supplementation with either
TS or SO, the concentration of high density lipoprotein cholesterol tended to increase
(p=0.07 and 0.05, respectively) as did the size of the low density lipoprotein (LDL)
particle (P=0.03 in both instances) while the concentration of triacylglycerol (p=0.0001
and 0.02, respectively) and apolipoprotein B (apo B) (P=0.005 and P=0.01, respectively)
decreased. The concentration , i.e., total cholesterol, cholesterol ester, free cholesterol,
phospholipids, α- and γ-tocopherol, of the two LDL subfractions was not influenced by
any of the oil supplements but was greater in the large (L) subfraction than the small (S).
When the oxidation of the two subfractions was measured by monitoring the formation of
conjugated dienes, the lag time was shorter in both fractions after supplementation with
FO compared to supplementation with SO (P=0.0001) or TS (P=0.0001) but the effect
was greater in the L subfraction. The rate of formation of conjugated dienes, which was
slower after FO supplementation than supplementation with either TS (P=0.02) or SO
(P=0.001), was faster in the L compared to the S subfraction. When oxidation was
measured by monitoring the increase in negative charge on apo B over 23 hr, only the 1
hr time point differed. The increase was greater in the FO-supplemented
group than either the TS- or SO-supplemented groups (P=0.001 in both instances). The
change was greater in S LDL (P=0.007). These findings demonstrate a greater potential
antiatherogenic property of dietary n-3-rich oil than n-6- or n-9-rich ones as indicated by
changes to plasma lipids, lipoproteins, apo B, and particle size but the influence of the
oxidative susceptibility of L and S subfractions is less conclusive. / Graduation date: 2000

Apolipoprotein E allele distribution in a South African Indian female population : effect on the lipid profile.Gounden, Nirmala. January 1993 (has links)
Genetic polymorphism of apolipoprotein (apo) E has been shown to account for a significant amount of variance in plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels, thereby contributing to the incidence of cardiovascular disease across populations. In this cross-sectional study apo E genotypes were determined in a sample of 173 healthy, middle-aged Indian women using a restriction isotyping method, in which DNA was amplified by PCR and the Cfol restricted DNA fragments were separated on a polyacrylamide gel, allowing unambiguous typing of the common apo E genotypes. Considering the three common alleles, e2, e3 and e4, a reduced frequency of the e2 allele was observed in the study population in comparison to other populations around the world. This finding underlines the heterogeneity of apo E allele frequencies in different populations. This study also investigated possible effects of apo E genotype on lipoprotein changes in this sample of women spanning the menopause. Apo E polymorphism was associated with significant differences in plasma lipid levels. Notably, total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol and more especially plasma triglyceride concentrations were increased in carriers of the e3/4 genotype. Two-way analysis of variance of the effect of apo E genotype and menopausal status on the lipid profile showed no significant interaction effect, indicating that the effects of apo E genotype on the lipid profile do not differ significantly between premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Age and to a lesser extent the waist hip ratio also correlated with lipid concentrations, but menopausal status had no apparent effect in this sample. This study confirms the potentially deleterious effect of the e4 allele, in a vulnerable population. The reduced occurrence of the E2 isoform, which is considered to offer a measure of protection against cardiovascular disease, may contribute to the relatively high incidence of coronary heart disease in the South African Indian population. However, the relatively low incidence of the e2 allele may protect this population against the occurrence of type III hyperlipoproteinaemia precipitated by diabetes and obesity in e2/2 homozygotes. / Thesis (M.Med.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1993.

A Study of the Cardiovascular Training Effects of Aerobic Dance Instruction Among College Age FemalesMaas, Sonia Hart 08 1900 (has links)
Thirty-one college age females enrolled in aerobic dance conditioning classes were subjects. The purposes were to determine if aerobic dance is sufficiently vigorous to elicit a heart rate capable of producing a training effect and to determine whether a training effect heart rate level can be maintained. The narco-biosystems telemetry was used to monitor heart rates. Each subject performed one aerobic dance at three trials. Twelve-minute run/walk pretests and post-tests were given to assign fitness levels. Results of the study indicate that aerobic dance is an effective cardiovascular training program. Resting heart rates decreased, fitness levels improved, and training intensity heart rates were elicited and maintained at each of the trials.
