Abstract

The effects of soybean pectic polysaccharide on cholesterol metabolism in rats were examined. The polysaccharide gradually repressed the increase in the serum cholesterol level; whereas, citrus pectin rapidly repressed the increase and cholesterol accumulation in the liver was not observed. Significanct differences in cecal short-chain fatty acid concentrations were not observed; therefore, further experiments are necessary to clarify the mechanism.
