[Comparative characteristics of the effect of different dietary carbohydrates on atherogenesis]
Abstract:
The action of starch, saccharose, lactose and glucose in the atherogenic rations containing a physiological (5 per cent) or an elevated (21 per cent of the ration's mass) amount of fat on the lipids metabolism and complex carbohydrates, as well as on the morphological structures in the aorta and coronary vessels was studied. It is found that of all the carbohydrates studied the most marked metabolic disorders are produced by rations with saccharose and lactose. Morphological changes in the vessels were in evidence only in rats fed on rations with lactose or saccharose and with an elevated proportion of fat.

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in the...
