Effect of Soybean Crude Fiber on the Concentrations of Serum Lipids and Apolipoproteins in Hyperlipemic Subjects

Abstract
Effect of soybean crude fiber on the concentrations of serum lipids and apolipoproteins in hyperlipemic subjects was examined. The concentrations of serum triglycerides, VLDL triglycerides and VLDL cholesterol were decreased significantly following the administration of soybean crude fiber for 2 months. Neither were significant changes found in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, apo A-I, apo A-II, apo C-II and apo B levels, nor in body weight before and after the administration of soybean crude fiber.
