The Ability of Dietary Glycan to Lower Elevated
Blood Cholesterol and Triglycerides in Rats.
Ten male rats were fed the control diet (basal + cholesterol and
cholic acid) for four weeks and divided into two groups.
One group (2A)
continued to receive the control diet. The second group (2B) received a
test diet of the same composition as the control diet except that 15 parts
of Glycan replaced 15 parts of sucrose. Another group (#1) of ten male rats
were fed the basal diet for four weeks and then continued on the basal diet.
At weekly intervals, whole blood was drawn from the caudal vein for the
determination of serum cholesterol. At the end of four weeks, whole blood
was drawn by heart puncture.
