简要总结

Increased postprandial lipemia may increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases. An important mechanistic link between lipemia following a high-fat meal and adverse cardiovascular events is lipid-mediated endothelial activation. Therefore, it is important to identify nutrients that can neutralize this acute vascular disturbance.

The investigators hypothesize that beetroot juice, a food rich in inorganic nitrate, could improve vascular activity during the postprandial phase.

入选标准

  • Aged between 18 and 70 years
  • Quetelet-index between 28-35 kg/m2
  • Mean serum triacylglycerol ≤1.7 mmol/L
  • No indication for treatment with cholesterol-lowering drugs according to the Dutch Cholesterol Consensus
  • No current smoker
  • No diabetic patients or individuals receiving antidiabetic medication
  • No familial hypercholesterolemia
  • No abuse of drugs
  • Less than 21 alcoholic consumptions per week
  • Stable body weight (weight gain or loss <3 kg in the past three months)
  • No use of medication known to affect serum lipid metabolism
  • No severe medical conditions that might interfere with the study, such as high blood pressure, epilepsy, asthma, allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, auto inflammatory diseases and rheumatoid arthritis
