lupinus polyphyllus/triglyceride

BACKGROUND Recently, it has been shown that dietary lupin protein lowers plasma triglyceride concentrations in rats. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that this effect is due to a downregulation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c, a transcription factor that

Lupin protein has been shown to reduce triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations in plasma of hypercholesterolemic growing and adult rats. However, the effect of lupin protein on lipid metabolism during pregnancy and lactation is unknown. Female rats were assigned to two groups and were fed a

We evaluated the effect of dietary fiber from sweet lupine hull (SLH) upon metabolic control in 16 non insulin dependent diabetics (11 males, mean age 52). Body mass index was 23 +/- 2 and non fasting glucose levels were < 200 mg/dl. Following a 2 month control period, patients received SLH, 10 g th

1. Two experiments with growing broiler chickens were carried out to study the effects of the inclusion in their diets of whole or dehulled lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) seed meal on productive and physiological parameters. The effects of the addition of a commercial protease (1 g/kg, Bio-Feed Pro,

In the absence of a clear indication from previous studies, a rat study was designed to evaluate a possible hypolipidaemic effect of Lupinus angustifolius (blue lupin) proteins. Rats were fed for 28days Nath's hypercholesterolaemic diets containing 20% casein or blue lupin proteins. After 14 and

The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of α-galactosides present in a lupin diet on metabolic parameters in growing Wistar rats. Lupin (Lupinus albus) is a rich source of non-digestible carbohydrates called α-galactosides whose beneficial health effects have been widely reported. For our

Glycerol monolaurate (GML) is widely consumed worldwide in the food industry and is considered safe, but for chronic diseases, supporting scientific data remain sparse. This study investigates whether dietary GML induces metabolic syndrome, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and systemic low-grade

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of different concentrations of lupin seeds (0, 200, and 400 g/kg), with and without cholesterol added (10 g/kg), in chicken diets on performance, relative liver weight, liver fat, intestinal pH and viscosity, and different blood serum

BACKGROUND Lupin kernel flour (LKF) is a novel food ingredient that is high in protein and fibre. We have previously shown that partial substitution of refined wheat-derived carbohydrate in bread with protein and fibre from LKF can reduce appetite and energy intake acutely. In addition, several

BACKGROUND Lupin protein had hypocholesterolemic effects in laboratory animals. However, the effect in humans has not been elucidated till now. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of lupin protein on circulating cholesterol in plasma and lipoproteins of hypercholesterolemic subjects. METHODS A

A bi-factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of enzyme supplements (200 mg Roxazyme G per kg feed) and white lupins (35%, freshly harvested or stored) on concentrations of lipids in serum and lipoproteins as well as in chest and leg meat. Enzyme supplements had not any effect on

Protein from white lupin is capable of lowering plasma lipids. We investigated in this study the effect of total protein extracts (TPEs) from different cultivars of blue lupin (Probor, Vitabor and Boregine) and alpha-/beta-conglutin from Boregine on the plasma lipids of rats. Rats were fed on a

Three milk substitute diets in which the protein was provided either by skim milk only (control diet) or mainly (71%) by a commercial soyabean or lupin concentrate (soyabean or lupin diet, respectively) were given to intact or ileo-caecal-cannulated preruminant calves. In vitro tests showed that

Lupin protein is capable of reducing plasma lipids in hypercholesterolemic man and animals. Whether lipid-lowering properties of lupin protein will be influenced by thermal treatment or by other nutrients has not been elucidated. In a two-factorial study, rats were fed hypercholesterolemic diets
