Abstract Studies have indicated that oxidized lipoproteins may play a role in atherosclerosis. We have recently demonstrated that the levels of oxidized lipoproteins in the circulation can be directly correlated to the quantity of oxidized lipids in the diet. The present study tested the hypothesis that dietary oxidized lipids accelerate the development of atherosclerosis. For 12 to 14 weeks, 36 male New Zealand White rabbits were fed a low-cholesterol (0.25%) diet containing either 5% unoxidized corn oil (control diet) or 5% oxidized corn oil (oxidized-lipid diet). Serum cholesterol levels increased to a similar extent in both groups, with the majority of the cholesterol in the ß-migrating very low density lipoprotein (ß-VLDL) fraction. ß-VLDL from control animals contained 3.86±0.57 versus 9.07±2.14 nmol conjugated dienes per µmol cholesterol (P<.05) in rabbits fed the oxidized-lipid diet. No difference in oxidized lipid levels was detected in LDL. Most important, feeding a diet rich in oxidized lipid resulted in a 100% increase in fatty streak lesions in the aorta. Additionally, rabbits that were fed the oxidized-lipid diet had a >100% increase in total cholesterol in the pulmonary artery that was primarily due to an increase in cholesteryl ester. Oxidized lipids are frequently present in the typical US diet, and our results suggest that consumption of these foods may be an important risk factor for atherosclerosis.
