Taurine prevents hypercholesterolemia in ovariectomized rats fed corn oil but not in those fed coconut oil 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We studied whether the type of dietary fatty acid influences the preventive effect of taurine on the ovarian hormone deficiency-induced increase in plasma cholesterol concentration in 6-mo-old ovariectomized rats. Rats were fed one of the following four diets for 28 d: purified diets based on corn oil, which is rich in linoleic acid, with or with out taurine (50 g/kg) or purified diets based on coconut oil, which is rich in lauric and myristic acids, with or without taurine. Body mass gain, food intake, liver weight and plasma apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, apo B, LDL and VLDL concentrations were not affected by the diets. On the other hand, taurine lowered the plasma total cholesterol concentration (P < 0.02) in rats fed corn oil, but not in those fed coconut oil. In rats fed both types of oils, taurine increased the LDL receptor mRNA level (P < 0.01), hepatic cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase activity (P < 0.01) and fecal bile acid excretion (P < 0.01). Taurine increased the HMG-CoA reductase mRNA level (P < 0.02) in the liver of rats fed coconut oil, but not in those fed corn oil. Taurine increased liver total lipid (P < 0.05) and triglyceride (P < 0.05) concentrations in rats fed corn oil, but not in those fed coconut oil. These results indicate that the effect of taurine on ovarian hormone deficiency-induced changes in cholesterol metabolism is influenced by the type of dietary fatty acids. 相似文献

Semipurified diets containing 10% kilocalories from either safflower oil (SO), corn oil (CO), olive oil (OO) or palm oil (PO) were fed to weanling male rats for 2 weeks. The effects of dietary fat saturation on plasma lipids and lipoproteins were: 1) Nonfasted plasma cholesterol concentration was higher in rats fed OO (mean +/- SEM = 81.0 +/- 2.9 mg/dl) vs. CO (67.5 +/- 2.9); 2) plasma chylomicron cholesterol concentration was higher in rats fed OO vs. SO and CO, with PO values in between; and 3) the cholesterol concentration of plasma very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) did not differ among groups. The effects of dietary fat saturation on hepatic lipoproteins (determined by liver perfusion techniques) were: 1) hepatic higher density lipoprotein (d = 1.006-1.21 g/ml) cholesterol production was greater in rats fed SO and CO vs. PO [19.1 +/- 1.2, 17.2 +/- 0.8 and 13.7 +/- 1.6 micrograms/(g liver X 1.5 hour), respectively]; 2) there was no difference in hepatic VLDL cholesterol production among groups; and 3) the ratio of cholesterol to protein of hepatic VLDL and the higher density lipoprotein fraction was higher in rats fed diets rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids versus saturated fatty acids. Dietary fat saturation had no effect on carcass and liver cholesterol concentrations. Since differences in hepatic lipoprotein production were not reflected in plasma lipoprotein patterns, these results suggest that extrahepatic lipoprotein metabolism differs in rats fed diets containing fatty acids of varying saturation. 相似文献

The effects of monomeric and polymeric grape seed tannins on rat plasma lipoproteins, lipoprotein lipase, hepatic lipase and aortic and hepatic lipid concentration were studied. Male Sprague-Dawley rats received either a normal diet (with no added cholesterol and no tannins), a control diet (hypercholesterolemic diet) or hypercholesterolemic diets supplemented with 2% tannin monomers or 2% polymers 3 or 9 wk. Plasma total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, LDL cholesterol and VLDL concentrations were significantly higher and the HDL cholesterol concentration lower in controls and in rats fed the diet supplemented with monomers compared with rats fed polymeric tannins at both time points. Lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities were significantly higher in control and in monomer-fed groups than in the polymer-fed group. Hepatic and aortic cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations were significantly higher in control rats and those fed monomers than in the polymer-fed group. Moreover, plasma HDL cholesterol and hepatic lipase activity were closely associated with low aortic cholesterol and triacylglycerol in rats fed polymeric tannins. These rats also exhibited greater fecal excretion of cholesterol and especially bile acids than the control or monomer-fed groups. Thus dietary grape seed tannins have a pronounced anti-hypercholesterolemic effect by enhancing reverse cholesterol transport and also by reducing intestinal cholesterol absorption and increasing bile acid excretion. 相似文献

Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing 7.5% dietary fiber as cellulose (control), pectin, psyllium or oat bran with or without 0.3% added cholesterol for 3 wk. Among rats fed cholesterol, liver total lipid and cholesterol concentrations were significantly lower in groups fed pectin, psyllium and oat bran compared with cellulose-fed controls. Cholesterol feeding resulted in significantly greater liver cholesterol in rats fed cellulose, psyllium and oat bran but not in those fed pectin. Among rats fed cholesterol, total serum cholesterol levels were significantly lower in those fed pectin than in those fed psyllium, oat bran or cellulose. When cholesterol was fed, the oat bran-fed group had significantly higher butyrate and the pectin-fed group had significantly higher propionate concentrations in the hepatic portal vein than did cellulose-fed controls. The groups fed psyllium, oat bran and pectin all had significantly higher fecal neutral sterols than did the cellulose-fed group when cholesterol was fed. Without dietary cholesterol only pectin-fed rats had significantly higher fecal excretion of neutral sterols than those fed cellulose. Dietary fiber did not influence fecal acidic sterol excretion. However, the addition of cholesterol to these fiber diets was accompanied by a significantly higher bile acid excretion than that of animals fed cellulose without cholesterol. The results of this study indicate that soluble dietary fibers may exert their hypocholesterolemic effect by increasing excretion of fecal neutral sterols. 相似文献

For a 28-d experimental period, rats were fed a nonpurified, cereal-based diet containing 9.1% supplemental beef tallow or fish oil or one of the following beef tallow:fish oil blends: 95:5; 90:10; 80:20 and 50:50. All diets provided between 21.3 and 22.7 g linoleic acid/kg. Higher fish oil intake was paralleled by elevated incorporation of long-chain (n-3) fatty acids in plasma total lipid, mainly at the expense of arachidonic acid. Significant inverse relationships were found between plasma total (n-3) fatty acid concentration and plasma triglyceride, cholesterol or free fatty acid concentrations. Fish oil intake did not lead to a shift of triglycerides or cholesterol from the plasma to the tissues (liver, heart, kidneys). Reduced plasma cholesterol concentrations in the fish oil-fed rats could not be explained by higher fecal excretion of neutral sterols and bile acids. In vivo lipid peroxidation, assessed by urinary malondialdehyde excretion, was enhanced when diets containing greater than 1.8% fish oil were fed. 相似文献

Effects of dietary methionine and glycine on serum lipoprotein profiles and fecal sterol excretion in normal and hepatoma-bearing rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The effects of concurrent addition of methionine (Met) and glycine (Gly) to a 20% casein diet on serum lipoprotein profiles and fecal sterol excretion were studied in male Donryu rats with or without subcutaneous implantation of an ascites hepatoma line of AH109A cells. The hepatoma-bearing rats fed on the 20% casein diet had a notable elevation in the very-low-density lipoprotein + low-density lipoprotein (VLDL + LDL)-cholesterol (Ch) level with a slight but significant decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-Ch level when compared to the hepatoma-free (normal) rats fed on the same diet. The dietary addition of 1.2% Met and 2.5% Gly in combination suppressed the hepatoma-induced elevation in the (VLDL + LDL)-Ch level with a prevention of the hepatoma-induced decrease in the HDL-Ch level. The addition of the two amino acids also lowered significantly the (VLDL + LDL)-Ch level without affecting the HDL-Ch level in tumor-free rats. Fecal excretion of both neutral and acidic sterols were reduced with growth of the hepatoma. The dietary addition of Met and Gly exerted no or little influence on neutral sterol excretion in both the tumor-free and -bearing states, but it enhanced acidic sterol excretion into feces in both states, especially in the hepatoma-bearing state at the last stage of feeding. These results suggest that the excretion and catabolism of Ch might be impaired in hepatoma-bearing rats with growth of the tumor, and that the supplemental Met and Gly in combination might enhance Ch catabolism by stimulating either synthesis or conjugation of bile acids, leading to a reduction of the (VLDL + LDL)-Ch level in the normal and hepatoma-bearing states. 相似文献

Effect of dietary ascorbic acid, cholesterol and PCB on cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in a rat mutant unable to synthesize ascorbic acid 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of acute or chronic ascorbic acid deficiency on the activity of hepatic cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and fecal excretion of bile acids was investigated in ODS-od/od (OD) rats (a rat mutant unable to synthesize ascorbic acid) fed a purified basal diet or purified diets containing either cholesterol (2%) or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) (200 mg/kg). In OD rats, the dietary requirement of ascorbic acid to maintain normal growth and normal levels of cholesterol in serum and liver is about 300 mg of ascorbic acid/kg diet. In OD rats fed the basal diet, acute or chronic ascorbic acid deficiency did not affect the activity of hepatic cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and fecal excretion of bile acids. However, in OD rats fed diets containing either cholesterol or PCB, acute ascorbic acid deficiency caused a higher level of serum cholesterol, a lower activity of hepatic cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and a lower excretion of fecal bile acids than in OD rats fed a basal diet containing an adequate level of ascrobic acid. It is concluded that acute ascorbic acid deficiency causes a hypercholesterolemia due to the depression of bile acid synthesis in OD rats fed a purified diet with cholesterol or PCB. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine whether katsuobushi, smoked-dried bonito (KB), which is a traditional Japanese food, prevents ovarian hormone deficiency-induced hypercholesterolemia. In experiment 1, ovariectomized rats (OVX-rats) were fed a purified diet containing casein or KB. Compared with the casein diet, the KB diet reduced the plasma cholesterol concentration and apparent protein digestibility, and increased the fecal dry weight and fecal bile acid excretion. In experiment 2, OVX-rats were fed one of the following four diets: casein diet containing corn oil or fish oil (CA/CO or CA/FO), or a diet containing the digested or undigested fraction of KB after treatment with microbial protease (KBE or KBR). KBR contains mainly two components: oil and protease-undigested protein of KB origin. In comparison with the CA/CO diet, the KBE diet did not affect the plasma and liver lipids concentrations, apparent protein digestibility nor fecal bile acid excretion. However, the KBR and CA/FO diets reduced the plasma cholesterol and triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations and the liver total lipid and TAG concentrations, but increased the liver total and esterified cholesterol concentrations. The KBR diet increased fecal bile acid excretion and fecal dry weight, whereas the CA/FO diet did not. Thus, the preventive effect of KB on the ovarian hormone deficiency-associated increase in plasma cholesterol concentration appears to be mediated by an increase in bile acid excretion through a promoted secretion of bile acids by the binding of bile acids to resistant proteins. 相似文献

This study was designed to compare the effect of fish oil rich in DHA and pectin on the level of plasma lipids, hepatic HMG CoA reductase activity, microsomal membrane fluidity, colonic luminal content of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and fecal excretion of bile acids and neutral sterols in rats. Male SD rats (7wks) were divided into three groups according to dietary fat sources, beef tallow (BT), corn oil (CO), fish oil (FO) and each group was subdivided into cellulose and pectin groups. The rats were fed for 25 wks the experimental diet containing 15% fat and 6% fiber and all rats were intramuscularly injected. with DMH. FO significantly reduced the levels of plasma Chol, TG, LDL-C, VLDL-C and hepatic HMG CoA reductase activity and increased membrane fluidity as compared with BT and CO. Pectin significantly reduced the levels of plasma Chol, VLDL-C and LDL-C, but increased HDL-C, HMG CoA reductase activity and membrane fluidity (p<0.05). However, pectin significantly increased the luminal content of butyrate and propionate in CO-fed rats and increased fecal excretion of deoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid in BT and CO-fed rats (p<0.05). Overall, fish oil had a protective effect against CVD by inhibiting hepatic HMG CoA reductase activity and increasing hepatic microsomal fluidity, thus leading to a reduction in plasma lipids. Pectin also had a protective effect against CVD by increasing fecal excretion of neutral sterols and hepatic microsomal fluidity. Pectin, however, increased risk factors for colon cancer by increasing the production of secondary bile acids and SCFA in the colon. 相似文献

Amaranth was an important ancient grain and has current nutritional potential, being high in protein, fiber, lysine, magnesium, calcium, and squalene. Limited, inconsistent evidence demonstrates amaranth grain or oil can lower cholesterol in animal models. In the present study, hamsters received hypercholesterolemic diets consisting of a control, 10 or 20% Amaranthus cruentus grain, or 2.5 or 5% crude amaranth oil for four weeks. Amaranth oil (5%) decreased total and non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol by 15 and 22%, respectively, compared to control. Amaranth grain (20%; providing 1.4% amaranth oil) lowered non-HDL cholesterol and raised HDL cholesterol. Amaranth grain and oil decreased very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol by 21-50%; and increased fecal excretion of particular neutral sterols and the bile acid ursodeoxycholate. Amaranth oil (5%) additionally increased the cholesterol synthesis rate, possibly due to compensatory mechanisms; and decreased hepatic cholesterol ester, indicating reduced cholesterol ester availability for VLDL secretion and consistency with reduced VLDL cholesterol. Amaranth thus affected absorption of cholesterol and bile acids, cholesterol lipoprotein distribution, hepatic cholesterol content, and cholesterol biosynthesis. Amaranth grain and oil did not affect these pathways identically. 相似文献

Sham-operated and cecectomized rats were fed for 21 d a cholesterol-free purified diet containing (200 g/kg) either normal cornstarch (CS) or high amylose cornstarch (HACS). In both types of rats, those fed the HACS diet had a significantly lower plasma total cholesterol concentration and a significantly larger intestinal bile acid pool than those fed the CS diet. In cecectomized rats, those fed the HACS diet had significantly lower plasma HDL and LDL cholesterol concentrations, a significantly greater fecal bile acid excretion and a significantly lower hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase mRNA concentration than those fed the CS diet. The plasma triglyceride concentration and LDL-receptor mRNA concentration were not affected by the diet or cecectomy. In sham-operated rats, the propionate concentration in the cecal contents was significantly greater in those fed the HACS diet than in those fed the CS diet. Compared with sham-operated rats, cecectomized rats had significantly enhanced cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase activity. In intact rats, biliary bile acid flux into the small intestine was significantly greater in those fed the HACS diet than in those fed the CS diet. Thus, the hypocholesterolemic effect of HACS appears to be mediated by accelerated fecal excretion of bile acids and increases in the intestinal pool and biliary flux of bile acids, and not by cecal fermentation products. 相似文献

For 30 d adult rats were fed a hypercholesterolemic (H) diet (25% saturated fat, 1% cholesterol and 0.5% cholic acid) containing different amounts of saponins (1% or 0.2%) and/or purified polyunsaturated lecithin (2.5% or 0.7%). Lecithin induced a striking reduction in the plasma levels of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol as well as an increase in the level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Saponins had only a very slight effect in lowering the level of VLDL cholesterol. Apoprotein A-I was unexpectedly present in VLDL, IDL and LDL after feeding rats the H diet and disappeared only after lecithin feeding. The activity of plasma lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase was higher when the two lecithin diets were fed than when the other diets were fed. Fecal excretion of neutral sterols was unmodified by the various diets whereas acid steroid excretion increased after lecithin feeding. Saponins, when added with lecithin to the diet, reduced the beneficial effect of lecithin. The results indicate that polyunsaturated lecithin induced a reduction in plasma cholesterol, possibly through an increased formation of HDL particles. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of the dietary fatty acid profile on the lipoprotein composition in sea bream fed different vegetable oils. Six experimental diets were formulated combining fish oil with three vegetable oils (soybean, rapeseed, linseed) in order to obtain 60-80 % (w/w) fish-oil replacement. VLDL, LDL and HDL in plasma samples were obtained by sequential centrifugal flotation. The lipid class, protein content and fatty acid composition of each lipoprotein fraction were analysed. HDL was the predominant lipoprotein in sea bream plasma containing the highest proportion of protein (34 %) and phosphatidylcholine. LDL presented a high content of cholesterol, whereas triacylglycerol comprised a larger proportion of VLDL. The lipid class of the lipoprotein fractions was affected by the dietary vegetable oils. Thus, a high dietary inclusion of soyabean and linseed oil (80 %) increased the cholesterol in HDL and LDL in comparison to fish oil. Similarly, the triacylglycerol concentration of VLDL was increased in fish fed 80 % soyabean and linseed oils owing to the low n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid content of these diets. Lipoprotein fatty acid composition easily responded to dietary fatty acid composition. VLDL was the fraction more affected by dietary fatty acid, followed by LDL and HDL. The n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid content increased in the order VLDL less than LDL and less than HDL, regardless of dietary vegetable oils. 相似文献

Studies were carried out on Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Chester Beatty (CB) rats to determine whether the difference in incidence of myocardial lesions can be related to dietary factors and parameters known to be affected in SD rats fed rapeseed oils. The two strains of young, male rats were fed diets which contained 20% by weight of either corn, LEAR (low erucic acid) or HEAR (high erucic acid rapeseed) oils for a period of up to 16 weeks. A significantly lower incidence of focal myocardial necrosis was observed in CB rats than in SD rats. The incidence of this heart lesion in CB rats was similar between all diets; in SD rats a higher incidence was observed in the groups fed rapeseed oils. In both strains the growth rates of rats fed LEAR and corn oils were similar; growth rates with HEAR oil diets were much lower than the other oils. Severe myocardial lipidosis was only evident in rats fed HEAR oil, but no strain differences were observed. The pattern and extent of lipidosis, including cardiac and hepatic lipid levels and fatty acid compositions, were similar in both strains at the time periods studied. Cardiac triglycerides and free fatty acids increased in rats fed HEAR oil, but no strain differences were evident. Strain differences were found in the levels of a few cardiac phospholipids of rats fed HEAR oil, however, the relative fatty acid compositions of each phospholipid were remarkably similar. Microscopic examination of the livers showed no evidence that feeding rapeseed oil caused any specific effect which could be related to differences in heart lesion response. There was no evidence to indicate that differences in heart lesion response between the two rat strains could be related to cardiac triglycerides, free fatty acids or phospholipids. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Both chitosan and glucomannan have demonstrated hypocholesterolemic effects. A recent study in rats indicates that the combination of the two is also a potent hypocholesterolemic agent that increases fecal fat excretion. The objective of the present study was to determine the hypocholesterolemic effect of a supplement containing equal amounts of chitosan and glucomannan on blood lipid concentrations and fecal excretion of fat, neutral sterols and bile acids. METHODS: Twenty-one overweight normocholesterolemic subjects (11 males and 10 females) were fed 2.4 g/day of a supplement containing equal amounts of chitosan and glucomannan. Prior to taking the supplement (initial period) and after 28 days (final period), blood was drawn for measurement of serum lipids and a three-day fecal sample collected for determination of fat, neutral sterol and bile acid excretion. Subjects maintained their normal dietary and activity patterns during the study. RESULTS: Caloric intake and intake of fat and dietary fiber (excluding the supplement) did not differ between the initial and final periods. Serum total, HDL and LDL cholesterol concentrations were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in the final period compared to the initial period. Serum triacylglycerol concentration did not change between periods. There was a trend towards greater fecal excretion of neutral sterols and bile acids (p = 0.13 and 0.16, respectively) in the final period. However, fecal fat excretion did not differ between periods. CONCLUSIONS: Serum cholesterol reduction by a chitosan/glucomannan supplement is likely mediated by increased fecal steroid excretion and is not linked to fat excretion. 相似文献

High concentrations of fecal bile acids are associated with a higher incidence of colon cancer. Dietary changes that alter bile acid metabolism are therefore of interest. Here, we report the effect of feeding diets containing four fiber sources and two fat levels for 7 wk on bile acid excretion and small intestinal bile acids (an index of pool size) in rats. The fiber sources were oat bran, rye bran, barley bran and sugar beet fiber. Fiber-containing diets were 8% dietary fiber and contained either 5 or 20% corn oil. All fiber sources caused significantly greater fecal output compared with the fiber-free basal diet. All fiber sources also resulted in significantly (P less than 0.05) lower fecal bile acid concentration compared with the fiber-free basal diet. Only rye bran resulted in significantly (P less than 0.05) higher total fecal bile acid excretion. Oat bran resulted in a slightly but significantly (P less than 0.05) higher quantity of small intestine bile acids compared with the other diets. Dietary fat level had no significant effect on fecal bile acid concentration or excretion or quantity of small intestinal bile acids. We conclude that all four fiber sources tested resulted in lower fecal bile acid concentration, by effectively causing greater fecal mass. Changes in dietary fat level as corn oil had no effect on fecal bile acids. 相似文献

The effect of dietary fat, starch and cellulose on individual and total fecal bile acids was studied in mice after 4 wk of feeding diets containing different levels of fat (5 and 29%), starch (3, 36 and 57-65%) and cellulose (2 and 10%). Diet affected the fecal concentration of deoxycholic acid, beta-muricholic acid and total bile acids. Increasing dietary fat from 5 to 29% significantly increased the level of deoxycholic acid and total bile acids. An increase in dietary cellulose from 2 to 10% significantly decreased the level of deoxycholic acid, beta-muricholic acid and total bile acids. High levels of dietary starch (36 and 57-65%) did not significantly affect the excretion of deoxycholic, beta-muricholic and total fecal bile acids. Starch was able to bind bile acids in vitro and to affect the level of fecal free bile acids. In high fat diets, the level of free bile acids was lower in the feces of animals fed 36% starch diets than in those fed 3% starch diets. This reduction of free bile acids was accompanied by a reduction in colon proliferative activity. We suggest that free, rather than total, bile acids are the effective damaging agents for colon mucosa, and may represent a risk factor in the development of cancer. 相似文献

Recent studies suggest that the biological effects of saturated fatty acids depend on the length of their chain. We compared the effect of diets containing different fatty acids on plasma lipids and lymphocyte proliferation in the presence of lovastatin and with increasing amounts of LDL. Lymphocytes from rats fed with a diet rich in palmitic acid had a greater lymphocyte proliferation capacity than those from rats fed with diets rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, or fish oil. This effect was maintained when small amounts of polyunsaturatwed fatty acids (PUFA; sunflower oil) were added to the palmitic acid diet. LDL receptor activity, measured by the capacity of lovastatin to revert the inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation with increasing amounts of LDL in the medium, was greater in the rats fed with palmitic acid, and was similar to the other groups when small amounts of PUFA were added. All the groups had similar levels of plasma cholesterol, but the LDL levels were significantly lower in the group fed with palmitic acid plus PUFA. The highest HDL-cholesterol (HDLc) levels were found in the palmitic acid group and the lowest LDL-cholesterol (LDLc)/HDLc ratio in the palmitic acid plus PUFA group. These results suggest that diets rich in palmitic acid do not raise total cholesterol, but reduce LDLc or keep it normal, and raise HDLc levels. This effect may be partly due to an increase in LDL receptor activity. The inclusion of small amounts of PUFA in the diet rich in palmitic acid substantially modified the LDL receptor response in the lymphocytes, suggesting that the proportion of different families of dietary fatty acids may be more important than the individual amount of each in absolute terms to explain their effects on plasma lipids and lipoproteins. 相似文献

Low levels of viscous hydrocolloids lower plasma cholesterol in rats primarily by impairing cholesterol absorption 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Hydrocolloids have been proposed as cholesterol-lowering agents, but their viscosity limits their use in human nutrition. A low level (1 %) of hydrocolloids (guar gum, (GG); xanthan gum, (XG); and konjac mannan) was investigated in rats fed 0.2 g/100 g cholesterol diets. Food intake and body weight gain were not altered by the diets. Bile flow and cholesterol bile flux were not modified by diet, whereas the bile acid flux was greater in rats fed hydrocolloid diets. The cecal pool of bile acids was greater than control rats only in rats fed the XG diet (+71%, P<0.001). The fecal excretion of neutral sterols was stimulated in rats fed the hydrocolloid diets; cholesterol apparent digestibility (60% in controls) was reduced to 30-36% in rats fed hydrocolloids. Bile acid fecal excretion was not altered by diet treatment. As a result, apparent steroid balance was about +40 micromol/d in controls and only +10 to +20 micromol/d in rats fed hydrocolloids. Both plasma cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly lower than controls in rats fed XG, but only cholesterol was lower in rats fed the GG diet. These effects were essentially found in the d <1.040 kg/L fraction. Liver cholesterol content was significantly lower than in controls in rats fed the GG or XG diets. Liver HMG CoA reductase was not affected by the hydrocolloid diets. In conclusion, a low percentage of viscous hydrocolloids lowers plasma cholesterol in cholesterol-fed rats. Inhibition of intestinal cholesterol absorption may be the primary mechanism. 相似文献
