A vicious cycle develops: The liver produces more triglycerides and VLDL particles to get rid of the excess fat. However, these VLDL particles are converted into LDL and sdLDL, which in turn increase the risk of artery blockages. The formation of <strong>plaque<\/strong> in the arteries, triggered by sdLDL particles, narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow to vital organs such as the heart and brain. Over time, this increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other serious cardiovascular diseases. Studies have shown that people with high levels of sdLDL are at a much higher risk for these diseases compared to those with normal LDL levels.<\/p>\n<h3>The Role of Insulin and Fructose<\/h3>\n<p>An important aspect of fructose\u2019s metabolic effects is that, unlike glucose <strong>it does not trigger a direct rise in insulin levels<\/strong> . This means that the pancreas does not immediately respond to remove sugar from the bloodstream. Instead, fructose goes directly to the liver, where it is processed and converted into <strong>fat<\/strong> These fats are mostly released into the bloodstream as <strong>triglycerides<\/strong> and stored as visceral fat in the body.<\/p>\n<h4>Visceral Fat and Uncontrolled Fat Storage<\/h4>\n<p>Visceral fat is particularly dangerous because it accumulates deep in the abdominal cavity and surrounds the organs. It is not just subcutaneous fat but fat that can impair the function of important organs like the liver, heart, and pancreas. Increased visceral fat mass, in turn, raises the risk of <strong>Cardiovascular diseases<\/strong>, <strong>insulin resistance<\/strong> and <strong>type 2 diabetes.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to visceral fat, the body also deposits excess fats uncontrollably in various organs, such as the <strong>liver<\/strong> and <strong>pancreas<\/strong>. This leads to <strong>non-alcoholic fatty liver disease<\/strong> and promotes inflammatory processes that further contribute to organ dysfunction. Fatty liver is often the first step towards <strong>insulin resistance<\/strong>, as the liver can no longer efficiently process sugar.<\/p>

Es entsteht ein Teufelskreis: Die Leber produziert mehr Triglyceride und VLDL-Partikel, um das \u00fcbersch\u00fcssige Fett loszuwerden. Diese VLDL-Partikel verwandeln sich jedoch in LDL und sdLDL, die wiederum das Risiko f\u00fcr Arterienverstopfungen erh\u00f6hen. Die Entstehung von <strong>Plaque<\/strong> in den Arterien, die durch sdLDL-Partikel ausgel\u00f6st wird, verengt die Blutgef\u00e4\u00dfe und reduziert den Blutfluss zu lebenswichtigen Organen wie dem Herz und dem Gehirn. Im Laufe der Zeit erh\u00f6ht dies das Risiko f\u00fcr Herzinfarkte, Schlaganf\u00e4lle und andere schwerwiegende Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen. Studien haben gezeigt, dass Menschen mit hohen sdLDL-Werten ein weitaus h\u00f6heres Risiko f\u00fcr solche Krankheiten haben als Menschen mit normalen LDL-Spiegeln.<\/p> <h3>Die Rolle von Insulin und Fruktose<\/h3> <p>Ein entscheidender Punkt bei der metabolischen Wirkung von Fruktose ist, dass sie im Gegensatz zu Glukose <strong>keinen direkten Anstieg des Insulinspiegels<\/strong> ausl\u00f6st. Das bedeutet, dass die Bauchspeicheldr\u00fcse nicht sofort reagiert, um den Zucker aus dem Blut zu entfernen. Stattdessen gelangt Fruktose direkt zur Leber, wo sie verarbeitet und in <strong>Fett<\/strong> umgewandelt wird. Diese Fette werden gr\u00f6\u00dftenteils als <strong>Triglyceride<\/strong> in den Blutkreislauf freigesetzt und als viszerales Fett im K\u00f6rper gespeichert.<\/p> <h4>Viszerales Fett und unkontrollierte Fetteinlagerung<\/h4> <p>Viszerales Fett ist besonders gef\u00e4hrlich, da es sich tief im Bauchraum ansammelt und die Organe umgibt. Es handelt sich dabei nicht nur um Fettpolster unter der Haut, sondern um Fett, das die Funktion von wichtigen Organen wie der Leber, dem Herz und der Bauchspeicheldr\u00fcse beeintr\u00e4chtigen kann. Ein erh\u00f6hte viszerale Fettmasse erh\u00f6rt widerum das Risiko f\u00fcr <strong>Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen<\/strong>, <strong>Insulinresistenz<\/strong> und <strong>Diabetes Typ 2<\/strong>.<\/p> <p>Neben dem viszeralen Fett lagert der K\u00f6rper die \u00fcbersch\u00fcssigen Fette auch unkontrolliert an verschiedenen Organen ab, wie z. B. an der <strong>Leber<\/strong> und der <strong>Bauchspeicheldr\u00fcse<\/strong>. Dies f\u00fchrt zu einer <strong>nicht-alkoholischen Fettleber<\/strong> und f\u00f6rdert Entz\u00fcndungsprozesse, die wiederum zu einer Verschlechterung der Organfunktionen beitragen. Die Fettleber ist oft der erste Schritt hin zu <strong>Insulinresistenz<\/strong>, da die Leber nicht mehr in der Lage ist, Zucker effizient zu verarbeiten.<\/p>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/cloud_storage_for_ai_seo_marketing\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/Lexikon\/cholesterin-und-fruktose\/13-Vitamin-C-sorgt-fuer-ein-gesundes-Herz.webp\" alt=\"Omega-3-Fetts\u00e4uren f\u00fcr das Herz\">\n<h3><strong>Omega-3-Fetts\u00e4uren f\u00fcr das Herz<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Omega-3-Fetts\u00e4uren aus Leinsamen, Chiasamen und Waln\u00fcssen unterst\u00fctzen die Herzgesundheit und tragen zur Senkung von LDL und Triglyceriden bei.<\/p>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/cloud_storage_for_ai_seo_marketing\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/Lexikon\/cholesterin-und-fruktose\/15-Vitamin-C-fuer-die-Gesundheit-der-Blutgefaesse.webp\" alt=\"Antioxidantien f\u00fcr gesunde Arterien\">\n<h3><strong>Antioxidantien f\u00fcr gesunde Arterien<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Antioxidantien aus pflanzlichen Lebensmitteln wie Beeren, gr\u00fcnes Gem\u00fcse und N\u00fcssen bek\u00e4mpfen Entz\u00fcndungen und sch\u00fctzen die Arterien vor Plaque-Bildung.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ballaststoffe: Die Cholesterinbremse<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Ballaststoffe, insbesondere l\u00f6sliche Ballaststoffe aus Hafer, Bohnen und Obst, binden Cholesterin im Darm und helfen, es aus dem K\u00f6rper zu entfernen.<\/p>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/cloud_storage_for_ai_seo_marketing\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/Lexikon\/cholesterin-und-fruktose\/14-Pseudogetreide.webp\" alt=\"Ballaststoffe: Die Cholesterinbremse\">\n<h3><strong>Pflanzliche Ern\u00e4hrung als Pr\u00e4vention<\/strong><\/h3> <p>Eine vegane, pflanzenbasierte Ern\u00e4hrung ist arm an ges\u00e4ttigten Fetten und reich an N\u00e4hrstoffen, die das Risiko f\u00fcr Cholesterinablagerungen und Herzkrankheiten minimieren.<\/p>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/cloud_storage_for_ai_seo_marketing\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/Lexikon\/cholesterin-und-fruktose\/16-Schutz.webp\" alt=\"Pflanzliche Ern\u00e4hrung als Pr\u00e4vention\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Die Rolle von HDL und Cholesterin<\/h2> <p>W\u00e4hrend LDL und sdLDL als \u201eschlechtes Cholesterin\u201c gelten, gibt es eine Art von Cholesterin, das als \u201egutes Cholesterin\u201c bekannt ist: <strong>HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein)<\/strong>. HDL-Partikel spielen eine sch\u00fctzende Rolle im K\u00f6rper, da sie <strong>\u00fcbersch\u00fcssiges Cholesterin aus den Arterien zur\u00fcck zur Leber transportieren<\/strong>, wo es abgebaut und aus dem K\u00f6rper ausgeschieden wird. Man kann sich HDL wie kleine \u201eReinigungsbojen\u201c vorstellen, die durch die Blutbahn schwimmen und die sch\u00e4dlichen Cholesterinpartikel aufr\u00e4umen, bevor sie in den Arterien Schaden anrichten k\u00f6nnen.<\/p> <p>Bei einem hohen Fruktosekonsum steigt jedoch die Produktion von <strong>VLDL-Partikeln<\/strong> in der Leber, die Vorl\u00e4ufer von <strong>LDL<\/strong> und <strong>sdLDL<\/strong> sind. Dadurch ger\u00e4t das Gleichgewicht zwischen HDL und LDL aus dem Lot: Es werden so viele <strong>LDL-Partikel<\/strong> produziert, dass die sch\u00fctzende Wirkung von HDL in Relation dazu zu gering ist, um das \u00fcbersch\u00fcssige Cholesterin ausreichend aus den Arterien zu entfernen. Das f\u00fchrt zu einer vermehrten Ablagerung von Cholesterin in den Arterien und erh\u00f6ht das Risiko f\u00fcr <strong>Arteriosklerose<\/strong> und andere Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen.<\/p>\n[themify_layout_part slug=\"video-und-bildquelle-adobe-stock\"] [themify_layout_part slug=\"bio-chikei\"]\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6812"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6812\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7005,"href":"https:\/\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6812\/revisions\/7005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veganer-ernaehrungsberater.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- This website is optimized by Airlift.
