Insights
Compound whole grain intake significantly improved lipid metabolism and reduced oxidative stress in hyperlipidemia patients. This dietary intervention positively impacts overall metabolic health and antioxidant status.
Area of Science:
- Nutritional Science
- Biochemistry
- Public Health
Background:
- Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
- Oxidative stress plays a significant role in the development and progression of hyperlipidemia.
- Dietary interventions are crucial for managing hyperlipidemia and its associated risks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the effect of a compound whole grain complex antioxidant chain on oxidative stress in a hyperlipidemia population.
- To assess the impact of the intervention on lipid profiles and oxidative stress markers.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental design was used with 418 hyperlipidemic residents aged 45-75 years.
- Participants were divided into an intervention group (compound whole grain + health education) and a control group (health education only) for one year.
- Measurements included Body Mass Index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), lipid profiles (TC, TG, HDL-C), and oxidative stress indicators (T-AOC, MDA, SOD, GSH-Px).
Main Results:
- The intervention group showed significant reductions in BMI, WHR, Total Cholesterol (TC), and Triglycerides (TG) compared to the control group.
- High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels significantly increased in the intervention group.
- Intervention led to significant increases in Total Antioxidant Capacity (T-AOC), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px), with a significant decrease in Malondialdehyde (MDA).
- Correlation analysis revealed negative associations between T-AOC/SOD and TC, TG, BMI, and positive associations with HDL-C.
Conclusions:
- Compound whole grain consumption can effectively improve lipid metabolism in individuals with hyperlipidemia.
- A significant correlation exists between general human metabolism and oxidative stress levels.
- Dietary strategies incorporating whole grains may be beneficial for managing hyperlipidemia and mitigating oxidative stress.
Objective:
To explore the influence of compound whole grain complex antioxidant chain on oxidative stress to the hyperlipidemia population.
Methods:
From March 2008 to March 2009, 418 hyperlipemia residents (45 to 75 years of age) of Han group were screened from 3 main districts in Nanjing, according to the community, blood lipids and oxidative indicators, stratified into intervention and control group by quasi-experimental design. The intervention group (212 individuals) were provided with compound whole grain and health education while only health education was provided for the control group (206 individuals). Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and oxidative indicators (including T-AOC, MDA, SOD, GSH-Px) were measured before and after the one-year intervention period. Analyses of the correlation between posture, biochemical markers and oxidative stress indicators before and after intervention were carried out.
Results:
After intervention, BMI ((25.53 ± 2.77) kg/m(2)), WHR (0.82 ± 0.03), TC ((4.60 ± 0.98) mmol/L), TG ((1.26 ± 0.88) mmol/L) in the intervention group were decreased significantly compared to the levels of BMI ((26.60 ± 3.18) kg/m(2)), WHR (0.93 ± 0.05), TC ((4.97 ± 1.02) mmol/L), TG ((1.98 ± 1.11) mmol/L) in the control group (all P values < 0.05); while HDL-C ((1.34 ± 0.26) mmol/L) in the intervention group was increased significantly compared to the level of HDL-C ((1.18 ± 0.17) mmol/L) in the control group (P < 0.05); After intervention, levels of T-AOC (19.52 ± 0.81), SOD ((85.42 ± 21.65) U/ml) and GSH-Px ((128.26 ± 33.65) µmol/L) were increased significantly compared to the levels of T-AOC (11.11 ± 1.30), SOD ((78.68 ± 30.48) U/ml) and GSH-Px ((118.48 ± 24.19) µmol/L) in the control group (all P values < 0.05); while MDA ((1.78 ± 1.16) nmol/ml) decreased significantly compared to the level of MDA ((2.12 ± 1.37) nmol/ml in the control group (P < 0.05); Pearson product moment correlation analysis showed that: T-AOC with TC, TG, BMI showed a negative correlation (r values were -0.258, -0.266, -0.230, respectively, all P values < 0.05), while with HDL-C was a positive correlation (r values was 0.194, P < 0.05); SOD with TC, TG, BMI showed a negative correlation (r values were -0.282, -0.311, -0.217, respectively, all P values < 0.05), while with HDL-C was a positive correlation (r values was 0.169, P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Compound whole grain could improve lipid metabolism to the hyperlipidemia population. There was a correlation between common human metabolism and the levels of oxidative stress.
