The effect of dietary calcium on post prandial lipaemia.
1994
Marshall B. | Samman S.
To test the hypothesis that increasing the level of dietary calcium will reduce the absorption of fat at a constant dietary fat content, the effect of dietary calcium on post prandial lipaemia was determined. Nine healthy subjects, in the fasted state, were given test meals on two different occasions in which the calcium content was set at 288 or 1328 mg of elemental calcium. The subjects served as their own control. Blood samples were collected before the ingestion of the test meal and then hourly for 7 hours. No significant differences were found between the post prandial response to the low calcium (mean area under plasma triacylglycerol curve: 1.90 +/- 1.66 mM.hr) and the high calcium test meals (2.24 +/- 1.91). The results show that under physiological conditions, fat absorption is not affected by dietary calcium.
