Abstrakt: Serum triglyceride and serum cholesterol responses to the interchange of starch with sucrose or glucose in four patients with carbohydrate-induced hypertriglyceridemia, one with the mixed type of hypertriglyceridemia and one with essential hypercholesterolemia are reported. In all cases feeding of sucrose or glucose caused a marked increase in serum triglycerides whereas feeding of starch reduced serum triglyceride levels. In general, serum cholesterol followed the same pattern as serum triglyceride.Metabolic differences between starch and di- or monosaccharides, which might explain their different effect on the blood lipids, are discussed.
