Effects of untreated and thermally treated lupin protein on plasma and liver lipids of rats fed a hypercholesterolemic high fat or high carbohydrate diet.

摘要: Lupin protein is capable of reducing plasma lipids in hypercholesterolemic man and animals. Whether lipid-lowering properties lupin will be influenced by thermal treatment or other nutrients has not been elucidated. In a two-factorial study, rats were fed diets based on high amounts carbohydrates (HC) fat (HF), which contained either (20.4% energy) untreated thermally treated (steam: 120 °C, 30 min) casein as control protein. lowered lipid concentrations the HF diet but those HC (P < 0.05). Among diet, VLDL triglyceride lower (−46% −44%, P 0.05) (−47% −46%, than casein; whereas liver triglycerides reduced only Compared to casein, had slightly stronger cholesterol-lowering effects plasma, LDL HDL (−34%, −37%, −35%; (−23%, −29%, −31%, 0.10). conclusion, effect strongly depends composition basal accompanied slight reduction its hypocholesterolemic properties.
