Increased postprandial lipemia is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Carob fruit extract (CFE) contains condensed tannins, and their intake has been inversely related to CVD. The objective was to evaluate the in vitro pancreatic lipase activity in the presence of CFE and the in vivo effect of CFE on postprandial lipemia of healthy Wistar rats in acute and subchronic digestibility studies and to relate it with changes in fat digestion and absorption. CFE significantly reduced pancreatic lipase activity. A peak delay and a dose-dependent decrease in plasma triglyceride and cholesterol areas under the curve were observed, effects that increased after the subchronic treatment. The levels of nondigested, nonabsorbed triglycerides of the remaining intestinal lumen fat were significantly higher in the maximum dose of CFE administrated versus the control ( P < 0.05). This study demonstrates for the first time the hypolipemic properties of CFE from the first administration, modifying postprandial lipemia by reducing the extents of fat digestion and absorption.

Hyperchylomicronemia causes endothelial cell inflammation and increases atherosclerosis.

The effect of increased triglycerides (TGs) as an independent factor in atherosclerosis development has been contentious, in part, because severe hypertriglyceridemia associates with low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). To test whether hyperchylomicronemia, in the absence of markedly reduced LDL-C levels, contributes to atherosclerosis, we created mice with induced whole-body lipoprotein lipase (LpL) deficiency combined with LDL receptor (LDLR) deficiency. On an atherogenic Western-type diet (WD), male and female mice with induced global LpL deficiency (i ) and LDLR knockdown ( ) developed hypertriglyceridemia and elevated cholesterol levels; all the increased cholesterol was in chylomicrons or large VLDL.

Lipids play an important role in human nutrition. Although adequate lipid consumption is necessary for an optimal functioning of the human body, overconsumption of saturated fatty acids can lead to postprandial hypertriglyceridaemia, which triggers the development of atherosclerosis. Important parameters that impact postprandial lipaemia and inflammation are related to the matrix structure and the fat-soluble micronutrient profile of ingested foods/lipids, but the specific effect of these parameters should be further studied, as most of the available studies evaluate their effect at fasting state.

Aims: High non-fasting triglycerides (TG) concentration is linked to the development of atherosclerosis, and physical activity is commonly recommended to reduce postprandial TG concentration and cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated that acute whole-body (walking and running) or lower-body (leg cycling) aerobic exercise reduces postprandial TG. However, it is unclear whether upper-body exercise (i.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the physical state of dietary fats (liquid vs. solid) affects inflammation and endotoxin levels in healthy men after consuming high-fat meals.
- Fourteen participants consumed emulsions of palm stearin oil with different lipid states, and blood samples were taken at various times after each meal.
- The results showed no significant differences in inflammatory markers between the lipid states, although some baseline characteristics of participants influenced responses, implying that lipid crystallinity does not have a major impact on short-term inflammation.

(PK) leaf extract, derived from Korean pine byproducts, holds promise for alleviating postprandial hyperlipidemia. In this study, we investigated the potential of PK leaf extract for modulating postprandial hyperlipidemia in adults with normal or borderline fasting triglyceride levels. In a randomized, double-blind, parallel design, 70 subjects were randomly assigned to either the placebo or PK group for 4 weeks.
