[Etiologic mechanisms of carbohydrate-induced hyperlipemia].

Experiments on rats with hyperlipemia induced by carbohydrates have been shown that synthesis of apoprotein B by the liver and its relative content in very low-density proteins (VLDP) of the liver and blood increase. This is accompanied by accelerated metabolism of C-III in blood VLDP and by hyperinsulinemia suggesting that hyperinsulinemia may be regarded as one of the mechanisms by which there occurs hyperlipemia under high carbohydrate diets.
