Effect of Onion (Allium cepa) Ultra-high Pressure Processing and Hot Water Extracts on the Serum Cholesterol Level in High Cholesterol-fed Rats

摘要: Effects of high pressure-processed onion extracts (OHP) on cholesterol diet (HCD)-fed rats were investigated using 5 groups normal diet, HCD, HCD with OHP (medium-dose (OHP-1) or high-dose (OHP-2)), and hot water extract (OHW) as a control for 6 weeks. increased serum AST, total cholesterol, HDL LDL levels. The level was 7.76 mg/dL in the group 155.06 HCD-fed group. Treatment 8.1 g/kg/day reduced levels to 82.38 mg/ dL. Total hepatic lipid treated rats, compared HCD- fed rats. Fecal significantly (tonal lipid, p<0.05; p<0.05) controls, treatment excretion. prevented hyperlipidemia by improving metabolism via decreased liver contents fecal
