A semipurified, @entity165 -free diet containing 40% @entity1735 can produce aortic sudanophilia or @entity731 in @entity3176 ( @entity3176 pygerethrus) depending on the particular @entity1735 fed. Four groups of @entity3176 (three males and three females per group) were fed semipurified diets containing @entity1132 . Two of the groups were also fed 15% cellulose (C) or 15% cellulose plus 0.1% @entity165 (CC); the two other groups were fed 15% pectin (P) or 15% pectin plus 0.1% @entity165 (PC). The average serum total @entity165 and low density lipoprotein @entity165 levels over the entire feeding period (mg/dl +/- SEM) were, for C, 156 +/- 14 and 95 +/- 5; for P, 173 +/- 15 and 112 +/- 8; for CC, 187 +/- 27 and 122 +/- 21; and for PC, 155 +/- 11 and 108 +/- 7. @entity165 levels at autopsy (mg/dl +/- SEM) were, for C, 103 +/- 6; for P, 108 +/- 16; for CC, 92 +/- 9; and for PC, 106 +/- 7. Aortic sudanophilia (percentage of area) was, for C, 5.9 +/- 2.7; for P, 13.5 +/- 9.4; for CC, 5.3 +/- 2.1; and for PC, 21.6 +/- 10.3. Dietary pectin led to more severe sudanophilia (increased by 129% in the absence of @entity165 and @entity10991 % in its presence) than did cellulose. Analysis of aortic glycosaminoglycans (GAG) revealed that @entity12953 levels fell in both @entity165 -fed groups, and chondroitin sulfate fell in aortas of group CC. Heparan @entity597 levels were unaffected by @entity165 feeding. @entity50017 , @entity11485 and @entity21775 levels were elevated in the pectin-fed monkeys, but levels were unaffected by dietary @entity165 .(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
