Caloric restriction (CR) has been shown to retard aging processes in many species. We investigated effects of CR on plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL), a major risk factor for the age-associated process of atherosclerosis. Studies emphasized effects of CR on LDL composition and their interaction with arterial proteoglycans (PG). Rhesus monkeys were fed a control diet (n = 13) or subjected to CR (n = 12 fed 30% less calories) for > 5 gears. Plasma LDL cholesterol concentrations were similar for control and CR groups (82 +/- 8 vs 72 +/- 6 mg/dL, mean +/- SEM). LDL was isolated by ultracentrifugation and HPLC. LDL particles from CR animals had a lower molecular weight (2.9 +/- 0.1 vs 3.2 +/- 0.1 g/mu mol, p < .05) and were depleted in triglyceride (249 +/- 16 vs 433 +/- 49 mol/particle, p < .005) and phospholipid (686 +/- 20 vs 837 +/- 33 mol/particle, p < .001). Lower PG binding was measured for LDL from CR animals (10.1 +/- 0.8 vs 15.6 +/- 1.1 mu g LDL cholesterol/mu g PG, p < .005). This was associated with the lower triglycerides (r = .76, p < .0005) and phospholipids (r = .48, p < .01). Thus, a dietary intervention which may retard aging inhibits a proposed mechanism of atherogenesis.
