La pectina aislada de la tuna del nopal (Opuntia sp.) modifica el metabolismo de la lipoproteína de baja densidad en conejillos de la India alimentados con colesterol]. The Journal of Nutrition [Revista de la nutrición], vol. 120 (1990).

What's more, as we consume carbohydrates we stimulate an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase that tends to drive fat into the cell; the insulin secreted when we consume carbohydrates makes matters worse by triggering enzymes that lock fat tightly into our fat cells.

There is good evidence that Aborigines are genetically insulin resistant,94 so that some of their metabolic traits 'are associated with being Aboriginal (mild impairment of glucose tolerance, hyperinsulinemia and elevated total and VLDL [very low density lipoprotein] triglycerides)'.95 In such a population, replacing ancestral food choices with the 'displacing foods of modern commerce' must predictably lead to high rates of T2DM.

High-density lipoprotein is not really cholesterol but a carrier of cholesterol, able to absorb cholesterol particles and other fats from the blood and donate them to tissues if needed, or to the liver for processing and excretion if not.

estrogen tells the liver habitually to favor the production of HDL over that of low-density lipoprotein. (Intense exercise can have a similarly promotional effect on the liver's outlay of HDL; the rigors of chronic activity inspire the same anabolic spirit that reproduction does, the same need to scavenge available blood lipids for the sake of creating new cells.)
