Abstract excerpt
The substitution of saturated fat by complex carbohydrate, according to current dietary recommendations, results in a decrease of plasma and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. To determine whether this decrease might result from structural and thus functional changes in LDL particles, the binding internalization and degradation of 125I-LDL were measured using TR715-19 cells, a mutant CHO line into...
