Fecal neutral and acidic sterols and cholesterol absorption were measured in 12 normal control subjects, 40 diabetic subjects with and without hyperlipidemia, and 27 subjects with hyperlipidemia but without diabetes mellitus. All subjects were on a low-cholesterol diet (< 300 mg cholesterol/day). Fecal excretion of neutral and acidic sterols was increased in patients with hypertriglyceridemia and was more marked in diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Cholesterol absorption was decreased in diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Otherwise, there were no significant differences in sterol excretion or cholesterol absorption in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects compared with control groups with similar lipid levels. The best predictors of fecal neutral- and acidic-sterol excretion and of estimated cholesterol synthesis were very high-density lipoprotein triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Correction of hyperlipidemia may be beneficial in decreasing cholesterol synthesis and, thereby, in decreasing the risk of atherogenesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
