“…Ultérieurement ces résultats furent à nouveau confirmés chez le lapin (ENSELME et al, 1963) ainsi que l'augmentation de l'effet hypercholestérolémique des protéines animales lorsque du cholestérol était ajouté à l'alimentation du poulet (KRIT-CHEVSKY et al, 1959) et du lapin (HOWARD et al, 1965). De même que chez l'animal l'effet hypercholestérolémiant des protéines animales par rapport aux protéines végétales a été constaté chez l'homme (WALKER et al, 1960 ;HODGES et al, 1967). Au cours de la même période une corrélation positive entre la prévalence des maladies cardio-vasculaires et la consommation des protéines animales ou celle des graisses a été établie lors des études épidémiologiques (YERUSHALMY et HILLEBOE, 1957 ;YUDKIN, 1957).…”

The effects of dietary proteins on plasma lipids, on the process of oxidation and on homocysteinemia, platelet aggregation, atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension and thrombosis have been investigated in animal models and in humans. Although sometimes conflicting, the results of epidemiological surveys and experimental studies, show that, in contrast to vegetable proteins, animal proteins might be well promote the development of atherosclerosis in subjects genetically predisposed to atherosclerosis, particularly in hypercholesterolemic subjects. Their eventual effects on healthy subjects have not been still proven. For the analysis of the results, several factors have to be taken into account: genetic, dietary environment and fats in particular, cholesterol, dietary fibers and isoflavones. The atherogenic, hypertensive and thrombotic effects depend on the amino acid composition of proteins, on the nature of the peptides released during digestion and of the extent of their immunologic effects. The mechanisms behind these pathogenic effects are complex and still under discussion also new investigations are necessary.
