Extract: Effect of four test diets differing in the ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fats and two cholesterol levels for each level of the P/S ratio was determined on plasma lipid levels, lipoprotein compositions and concentrations, and fecal steroid excretion in a controlled diet study with 11 normal young men using a crossover design. Plasma cholesterol levels were significantly decreased by the diets high in P/S ratio regardless of the dietary cholesterol levels while the diets low in P/S ratio increased cholesterol by an average of 24 and 22% in presence of high and low cholesterol, respectively. Lipids and apoproteins were changed in accordance with those of plasma cholesterol but change in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) appear to depend on both cholesterol content and P/S ratio. Dietary cholesterol level profoundly influenced the excretion of neutral sterols and diets high in P/S ratio significantly increased fecal bile acid extraction. The present study demonstrated that dietary polyunsaturated fats, when a moderate amount was consumed, were effective and beneficial hypocholesterolemic nutrients without reducing HDL-cholesterol.
