It has been observed that a diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrates is associated with increases TC, TG, LDL, the ratio of TC/HDL [57], glucose, HOMA-IR and insulin levels; in addition to increases in the expression of enzymes involved in fat synthesis, reductions in the expression ...

Metabolic disorder was defined as 1) triglyceride ≥1.7 mmol/L, or 2) TC ≥5.2 mmol/L, or 3) LDL ≥3.4 mmol/L, or 4) HDL <1.0 mmol/L in men and HDL <1.3 mmol/L in women [40]. The Framingham risk score (FRS) was calculated by adding the scores for the six main coronary ...
