• 2016 ESC/EAS Guidelines for the Management of Dyslipidaemias. (2016, background): “Glucose and lipid metabolism are strongly related, and any perturbation of carbohydrate metabolism induced by a high carbohydrate diet will also lead to an increase in TG concentrations.(148,165)”
• The Endocannabinoid System as an Emerging Target of Pharmacotherapy (2006, background): “An interesting alternative mechanism is suggested by the results of a recent metaanalysis of the effects of low carbohydrate, nonenergy-restricted diets on weight loss and cardiovascular risk factors (Nordmann et al., 2006).”
• Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes—2012 (2011, background): “A meta-analysis showed that at 6 months, low-carbohydrate diets were associated with greater improvements in triglyceride and HDL cholesterol concentrations than low-fat diets; however, LDL cholesterol was significantly higher on the low-carbohydrate diets (116).”
• Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes—2008 (2008, background): “A recent meta-analysis showed that at 6 months, low-carbohydrate diets were associated with greater improvements in triglyceride and HDL cholesterol concentrations than low-fat diets; however, LDL cholesterol was significantly higher on the low-carbohydrate diets (68).”
