High-Carbohydrate Diet Elevates Triglyceride Concentration - January 18,
2000
                         WESTPORT, Jan 18 (Reuters Health) - A
high-carbohydrate diet elevates both fasting and postprandial
triglyceride concentrations, changes that are associated with
atherogenesis, according to researchers. Dr. Gerald M. Reaven, of
Stanford University School of Medicine in California, and colleagues
randomized eight healthy, nondiabetic volunteers to a diet consisting of
either 60% carbohydrate, 25% fat and 15% protein, or 40% carbohydrate,
45% fat and 15% protein, for 2 weeks. After a 2-week washout period, the
volunteers crossed over to the
other diet.
