- Abstract:
- The influence of a skim milk and a whey-based diet on plasma lipids and lipoproteins in rabbits was investigated in a crossover design, in which the diets were switched after 12 weeks. The whey diet increased plasma lipid levels regardless of when it was consumed in the feeding protocol. The milk diet, on the other hand, modestly elevated the lipid levels if provided in the first half of the feeding protocol, but reduced lipid levels if given in the second half of the feeding regime. Both diets also induced similar changes in lipoprotein patterns when given in the first half of the feeding protocol, but opposite effects during the second half. Atherosclerotic changes were also observed in the aorta of animals receiving the whey diet during the second half of the experimental protocol.
