cholic acid/phaseolus

The hypocholesterolemic action of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) from blackgram (Phaseolus mungo) in rats may be due to hemicellulose, since removal of hemicellulose resulted in the loss of cholesterol-lowering action. Blackgram NDF showed different binding affinities for different bile acids, with

Rats maintained on cholesterol-free diet and fed neutral detergent fiber (NDF) from blackgram showed lower concentrations of cholesterol in the serum, liver and aorta, when compared to those fed isocaloric, fiber-free diet. Incorporation of labeled precursors, [1,2(-14)C]acetate and [U-14C]glucose,

The cholesterol-lowering property of beans has been shown in several studies. The propose of the present work was to investigate the effect of black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris, L.) without hulls on blood cholesterol of hypercholesterolemic rats. Four groups of 8 male rats, Wistar strain, initial body

The cholesterolaemic effects in rats of a diet (VS) containing Bambara groundnuts (Vigna subterranea), a popular legume eaten in Nigeria, were compared with diets PV, PS, LC and PL, containing baked beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), marrowfat peas (Pisum sativum), lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.) and
