Abstract
Oral administration of aspartate and glutamate has been shown to inhibit fatty streak initiation in cholesterol-fed rabbits. The two amino acids did not have any effect on serum TC, LDL-C, TG and apoB concentrations. However, they increased HDL-C and maintained apoA-1 levels. Their antiatherogenic effect probably may be explained by different mechanisms than these related to the atherogenic lipids lowering, and it is possible to involve HDL-C and apoA-1.
