Atherosclerosis
• Plaques:
• Occlude arterial vessels.
• Form from arterial wall injury.
• Contain cholesterol (oxidized LDL), platelets, etc.
Hypertension
• Is high blood pressure.
• Is a leading cause of arterial wall
injury.
• Synergizes with atherosclerosis to
cause heart disease and stroke.

• CHYLOMICRONS
Serum Cholesterol
• LDL (Bad, 77.5%)
• HDL (Good, 17.5%)
IDL (Neutral, 5%)
Lipid Carrier Molecules
Serum Triglycerides
• Elevated levels are associated with heart disease.
• High triglyceride levels thicken the blood causing
hypertriglyceridemia.
• Triglycerides are packaged primarily in
Chylomicrons and Very Low Density Lipoproteins
(VLDL).
• A fasting 12 hour blood test is needed to
determine an accurate triglyceride level.
• <150mg/dl is normal.
• 450 mg/dl is like pumping ketchup, causes arterial
damage contributing to heart disease and stroke.
Serum Cholesterol
• Elevated levels are associated with
atherosclerosis if 2 other risk factors exist.
• Cholesterol is packaged as Low Density
Lipoproteins (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein
(HDL). Intermediate Density Lipoprotein (IDL) is
present to a minor extent.
• HDL’s return cholesterol to the liver for synthesis
of bile, hormones, and vitamins.
• LDL’s delivers cholesterol to tissue and therefore
have a higher plaque effect.

• Cholesterol:

Fatty Acid Composition of Common Fats
Oxidation of Fat
• The double bonds of polyunsaturated
fatty acids are targets for oxidation
(damage by oxygen species).
• The double bond breaks with oxidation
generating lipid fragments that are very
sticky.
(-CH2CH=CHCH2- to CH2CHO + CH2CHO).
• The sticky fragments contribute to
atherosclerotic plaque formation.
Antioxidants
• Antioxidants: Prevent oxidation reactions, react
with oxygen radical species directly, & prevent
heart disease
• Antioxidants vitamins include: vitamin E
(alpha-tocopherol), vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid),
beta-carotene (provitamin A)
• Minerals with antioxidant cofactor functions
include: Zinc, Copper, & Iron
Hydrogenation of Fat
• Trans fatty acids levels are high in
processed foods containing partially
hydrogenated oils.
• The double bonds from PUFA & MUFA are
removed by hydrogenation (adding hydrogen).
• The fatty acid becomes more saturated.
• Is used in the process of making
margarine.
• The softer the margarine the less trans fat.
• Stick margarine & shortening are highly
hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated.

Partial Hydrogenation
of Fat
• Is done in the food industry.
• Many of the double bonds from
PUFA & MUFA are removed and
many can be chemically modified
to a trans fatty acid (TFA)
configuration.
• TFAs contribute to heart disease.
Cis vs. Trans Fatty Acids
• Cis:
• The naturally occurring configuration in PUFA &
MUFA.
• Hydrogen atoms are on the same side of the double
bond in the fatty acid Carbon chain.
• Trans:
• Form during the partial hydrogenation process.
• A chemical “Fluke”
• Hydrogen atoms are on the opposite side of the
double bond in the fatty acid Carbon chain.
The Chemical Structure of
Cis & Trans Fatty Acids
spotlight
Trans Fatty Acids are
Detrimental to Health
• TFAs contribute to heart disease by
increasing LDL & decreasing HDL
cholesterol & increasing triglycerides.
• An intake of 2-3% of energy from TFAs
has greater than predicted negative
effects from the marked adverse blood
lipid changes. TFAs may also contribute to
inflammation, endothelial cell dysfunction,
and diabetes (insulin resistance).
• Intake should be < 1% of energy to as low
as possible.
Consumer Keys for
Avoiding Trans Fatty Acids
• Read the nutrition facts panel. TFA free is defined
as ≤0.5 gm/serving.
• Avoid foods with partially hydrogenated oils in the
ingredient list (such as cookies, chips,
doughnuts) on the food label.
• Bake with vegetable oils.
• Use margarines that are soft. Choose margarines
that are trans fatty acid free.
• Avoid deep-fat fried foods like french fries, corn
chips, doughnuts, & chicken nuggets.
• Avoid high meat and dairy product intake as a
natural TFA source from bacterial action on
unsaturated fatty acids in the ruminants stomach.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Heart Healthy
Omega carbon
Linoleic Acid
An Omega-6 fatty acid
Omega carbon
Alpha-Linolenic Acid
An Omega-3 fatty acid
How Do Omega-3
Fatty Acids Work?
• They affect the synthesis of eicosanoid hormone
like compounds such as prostaglandins &
leukotrienes.
• The compounds produced from omega 3 fatty
acids:
• Decrease blood clotting (prevent plaque build-up)
• Decrease blood pressure (prevent atherosclerosis)
• Decrease blood total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, &
triglycerides & increase HDL cholesterol)
• Decrease inflammation (prevent arthritis, asthma)
• Increase immunity (prevent cancer)
American Heart Association
omega 3 fatty acid recommend
• Consume 0.5-1.8 grams of omega-3 fatty
acids per day as fatty fish or supplements.
• The omega-3 fatty acids in fish are called
EPA & DHA.
• Consume 1.5-3.0 grams alpha-linolenic
acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) per day.
• Plant sources of omega-three fatty acids flax
seed, walnuts, & canola oil.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Fish

• Good Sources:

eat fish that live closer to the surface

Homocysteine in Heart Disease
• Homocysteine is an amino acid intermediate of
cysteine & methionine metabolism.
• Elevated levels of homocysteine cause arterial
wall damage & contribute to heart disease.
• Folic acid (folate), B6 & B12 function as cofactors
for the enzymes driving the inter conversion of
cysteine & methionine, thus adequate intakes
prevent hyperhomocystemia.

Other Factors in Heart Disease
• High doses of Niacin: Increases HDL, decreases
LDL.
• Statin type cholesterol lowering drugs: Reduce
the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver.
• Cholesterol absorption inhibitor drugs.
• Benecol spreads: Contain plant stanol esters that
reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the
digestive tract.
• Wine: Reduces blood viscosity. Red wine and/or
grape juice increases HDL.
• Alcohol: 1 serving per day decreases risk of a
cardiovascular accident. It is an anticoagulant.
• Aerobic Activity: Increases HDL, decreases LDL.
• Soluble Fiber: Decreases LDL.
• Soy Protein: Increases HDL, decreases LDL.
Lipids in Cancer
• Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death
in Americans.
• It is characterized by uncontrolled cell
growth.
• It occurs through a process of initiation,
promotion, and progression.
Carcinogenesis
Cancer Risk
• Increased Cancer Risk by Lifestyle
Practices
– Smoking tobacco, UV light, Obesity,
Sedentary Lifestyle
• Increased Cancer Risk by Dietary
Practices

~ 45% of all cancer deaths are diet-related
Low F&V, antioxidant nutrient, & fiber intake
High total fat and PUFA, sodium intake
P:S ≥3:1 + high fat diet = cancer risk
P:S ≤0.33:1 (or ≤1:3) + high fat diet = heart
disease risk
Sample P:S Ratio Calculation
• Kathy ate a high fat diet.
– 104 gm PUFA & 30 gm SFA
• What is her P:S ratio?
 104 ÷ 30 = 3.47. This # is placed in the P
position of the ratio
– The S position is always assigned the # 1
• The P:S is 3.47:1
• Is the ratio increasing disease risk?
– This P:S ratio is increasing risk for cancer
– Remember that you do want enough PUFA to
get your essential (linoleic and alpha-linolenic)
fatty acid needs met.
