The effect of prickly pear soluble fiber on low density lipoprotein<br />
(LDL) metabolism was investigated by feeding male guinea<br />
pigs either a nonpurified diet containing 0.25% cholesterol (HC<br />
diet) or the HC diet + 1% prickly pear pectin (HC-P diet). Plasma<br />
cholesterol levels were significantly decreased by the HC-P<br />
diet, with a 33% decrease in LDL levels (p less than 0.02) and<br />
an increase in LDL density. Hepatic free and esterified cholesterol<br />
levels were reduced 40 and 85%, respectively (p less than<br />
0.002), by the HC-P diet. Hepatic microsomal 3-hydroxy-3methylglutaryl<br />
coenzyme A reductase levels were not different.<br />
125I-LDL binding to hepatic membranes was increased 1.7-fold<br />
by the HC-P diet (p less than 0.001), with receptor affinity (Kd)<br />
being unaltered and receptor number (Bmax) being significantly<br />
increased (p less than 0.001). These data suggest that prickly<br />
pear pectin may act by a mechanism similar to that of bile acidbinding<br />
resins in lowering plasma cholesterol levels. The observed<br />
reduction in LDL and hepatic cholesterol levels and increase<br />
in LDL density and hepatic apolipoprotein B/E receptors are responses<br />
suggesting an increased demand on hepatic cholesterol<br />
from increased excretion of bile acids and interruption of the<br />
enterohepatic circulation.<br />
