Abstract EN
Visceral obesity and fatty liver have been related to high synthesis and low absorption of cholesterol.
This study aimed to investigate the associations of cholesterol metabolism with liver and visceral fat content in healthy humans.
Another objective was to explore the effects of very-high-fructose and very-high-glucose diets on cholesterol homeostasis.
We report on a cohort of 20 people (12 males, 8 females; age 30.5±2.0 years; body mass index 25.9±0.5 kg/m2) who completed a four-week dietary intervention study.
Between the baseline and the followup examination the study participants in addition to a balanced weight-maintaining diet received 150 g of either fructose or glucose per day.
Visceral and liver fat were measured with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and 1H-MR spectroscopy, respectively.
Cholesterol absorption and synthesis were estimated from the serum noncholesterol sterol concentrations.
Performing cross-sectional analyses the lanosterol and desmosterol to cholesterol ratios were positively correlated with visceral and liver fat content (all P<.03).
The lathosterol to cholesterol ratio decreased in response to high-fructose diet (P=.006) but not in response to high-glucose diet.
To conclude, visceral and liver fat content are associated with cholesterol synthesis in healthy humans.
Furthermore, cholesterol synthesis appears to be dependent on fructose/glucose intake.
