Current strategies for atherosclerosis and lowering cholesterol. Abstract Text:

P J Nestel,

Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disorder in which nutritional factors are closely related to a number of the manifestations of the disease. Sounder nutritional principles might therefore prevent atherosclerosis itself or its major complications. Optimising nutrients would diminish monocyte adhesion to endothelium, suppress platelet aggregation, prevent oxidative modification of lipoproteins, minimise activation of coagulant factors and reduce the flux of cholesterol and of atherogenic lipoproteins through plasma. Optimising the mix of dietary fatty acids should have the highest priority. Emphasis should be placed on those fatty acids, such as those derived from fish, which modify several cardiovascular risk factors, including plasma lipids, blood pressure and coagulation factors. Reduction of risk factors is also achieved but to a lesser extent by reducing total fat intake, reducing dietary cholesterol, optimising the mix of starches and fibre and increasing plant foods generally. A developing strategy is to identify genetic predisposition to environmentally induced hyperlipidaemia, since most forms of hyperlipidaemia reflect interactions between genetic and dietary factors.
