Study acronymDRN 270 Carbohydrate and Lipoproteins
Study objectivesDespite the falling trend in death from cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the UK in the last 10 years, the morbidity in CVD is increasing exponentially as a direct result of the cardio-metabolic risk arising from obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. One of the key public health nutritional strategies to prevent this from happening is to replace dietary fat, principally saturated fat, with carbohydrate, to reduce such risk factors as serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. However, meta-analyses have firmly established that replacing dietary fat with carbohydrate is not associated with a decrease in CVD risk. Moreover, when the amount and quality of carbohydrate is uncontrolled, an exchange of fat for carbohydrate can increase risk arising from the insulin-resistant conditions described above. Recent evidence suggests that this adverse effect of dietary carbohydrate on CVD risk can be ameliorated by controlling the quality of carbohydrate; this may be achieved by limiting intake of non-milk extrinsic sugars (fructose and sucrose) and increasing non-starch polysaccharides (NCP).

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Diabetes Research Network, Primary Care Research Network for England; Subtopic: Other; Disease: Cardiovascular disease
InterventionThe study will be a randomised, dietary intervention with a cross-over design. It will examine the effect of two test diets for 12 weeks, that differ in the quality of carbohydrate (high and low non-milk extrinsic sugars [NMES]), in two groups of subjects at risk of metabolic syndrome but with different proportions of liver fat (low liver fat less than 2% and moderate liver fat greater than 10% but less than 20%). The test diets will be preceded by a 4-week run-in diet and separated by 4 weeks of wash-out.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureFormation of high- and low-risk lipoprotein phenotypes
Secondary outcome measures1. LDL kinetics, with a focus on the formation of small dense LDL
2. Sources of liver fat
3. Whether VLDL-TG is derived from increased DNL and/or systemically derived NEFA
4. VLDL kinetics, with focus on differential effects on the synthesis of VLDL-TG and VLDL-apoB
