Journal Article
Dietary conjugated linoleic acid reduces plasma lipoproteins and early aortic atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic hamsters.
TL;DR: Morphometric analysis of aortas revealed less early atherosclerosis in the conjugated linoleic acid and linoleoic acid-fed hamsters compared to the CONTROL group, suggesting a tocopherol-sparing effect, at least for the conjUGated linolesic acid treatment.

Journal ArticleDOI
Rice bran oil and oryzanol reduce plasma lipid and lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations and aortic cholesterol ester accumulation to a greater extent than ferulic acid in hypercholesterolemic hamsters.
TL;DR: It is suggested that at equal dietary levels, oryzanol has a greater effect on lowering plasma non-HDL-C levels and raising plasma HDL-C than ferulic acid, possibly through a greater extent to increase fecal excretion of cholesterol and its metabolites.

Seasonal variation in serum cholesterol levels: treatment implications and possible mechanisms.

TL;DR: This study confirms seasonal variation in blood lipid levels and suggests greater amplitude in seasonal variability in women and hypercholesterolemic individuals, with changes in plasma volume accounting for much of the variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oryzanol decreases cholesterol absorption and aortic fatty streaks in hamsters
TL;DR: It is concluded that a constituent of the nonsaponifiable lipids of R BO, oryzanol, is at least partially responsible for the cholesterol-lowering action of RBO and was associated with significant reductions in aortic fatty streak formation.
