Reducing saturated fat intake is associated with increased levels of LDL receptors on mononuclear cells in healthy men and women

Studies with animal models suggest that saturated fatty acids raise low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels by reducing LDL receptor-mediated clearance. To examine this directly in humans, we studied the effects of lowering dietary saturated fat on LDL-receptor abundance in peripheral monon...
