High-density lipoprotein concentrations increase after stopping smoking.

I Stubbe, J Eskilsson, P Nilsson-Ehle

    British Medical Journal (Clinical Research Ed.)
    |May 22, 1982

    Summary

    Stopping smoking rapidly increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations, also known as "good" cholesterol. This rise, linked to dietary fat intake, reverses upon resuming smoking, highlighting HDL

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Health
    • Lipid Metabolism
    • Smoking Cessation Research

    Background:

    • Habitual smoking is associated with lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.
    • Understanding the impact of smoking cessation on lipoprotein profiles is crucial for cardiovascular risk assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the changes in plasma lipoprotein concentrations after smoking cessation.
    • To explore the relationship between these changes, diet, and body weight.

    Main Methods:

    • Longitudinal study monitoring 10 male smokers for six weeks after cessation.
    • Analysis of plasma lipoproteins, energy intake, carbohydrate and fat consumption, and body weight.
    • Observation of lipoprotein changes upon resumption of smoking in a subset of participants.

    Main Results:

    • Plasma triglyceride, cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations remained unchanged.
    • A significant and rapid increase (29%) in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was observed within two weeks.
    • HDL cholesterol levels returned to baseline upon resumption of smoking.
    • Increased fat consumption correlated with the rise in HDL cholesterol.

    Conclusions:

    • Smoking cessation leads to a rapid and significant increase in HDL cholesterol concentrations.
    • Dietary factors, particularly fat intake, may play a role in modulating HDL levels post-cessation.
    • These findings support the detrimental effect of smoking on HDL levels and the beneficial impact of cessation.
