The Impact of Egg Nutrient Composition and Its Consumption on Cholesterol Homeostasis

Abstract: Nutrient deficiencies and excess are involved in many aspects of human health. As a source of essential nutrients, eggs have been used worldwide to support the nutritional needs of human societies. On the other hand, eggs also contain a significant amount of cholesterol, a lipid molecule that has been associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases. Whether the increase of egg consumption will lead to elevated cholesterol absorption and disruption of cholesterol homeostasis has been a concern of deb… Show more

“…Salah satu jenis profil lipid yang bersifat positif bagi pasien adalah High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), yang bekerja mengangkut kolesterol jahat dari endotel pembuluh darah sehingga tidak terjadi akumulasi kolesterol dalam endotel pembuluh darah kemudian diangkut ke hepar dan kemudian dibuang melalui saluran pencernaan (9) . Aterosklerosis terjadi akibat terakumulasinya kolesterol jahat pada endotel pembuluh darah, sehingga dengan keberadaan kolesterol HDL akan membersihkan pembuluh darah dari kolesterol jahat.…”

“…Eggs are a major source of dietary cholesterol, but they are also an affordable source of high quality protein, iron, unsaturated fatty acids, phospholipids, and carotenoids 4. However, because of the cholesterol content in eggs, the association between egg intake and cardiovascular disease risk has been a topic of intense debate in the past decade.…”

“…Eggs are consumed by millions of people worldwide, being considered a complete food for the human diet due to their large amounts of essential nutrients such as proteins, lipoproteins (ovalbumin, ovotransferrin, HDL and LDL), a wide variety of minerals (potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, magnesium), vitamins (A, D, E, K, B6, B9, B12, riboflavin), lipids (MUFAs, PUFAs, carotenoids, choline and phospholipids) and other bioactive compounds [1]. It is also proved that a moderate consumption of eggs can improve the lipid profile [2], decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease [3,4] or reducing the prevalence of metabolic syndrome [5].…”
