Effect of dietary carbohydrate restriction with and without weight loss on atherogenic dyslipidemia.

Abstract

Increasing evidence suggests a role for carbohydrate restriction in the dietary treatment of atherogenic dyslipidemia. The effects of carbohydrate restriction on the specific aspects of lipoprotein metabolism affected by atherogenic dyslipidemia under weight-stable and weight-loss conditions are reviewed here.
