Abstract
The effect of dietary pectin and algin on blood cholesterol level of growing rats fed a cholesterol-free diet was studied. Pectin was found to lower blood cholesterol significantly while the effect of algin was very small. It was shown that the level of endogenic cholesterol in rats was lowered by feeding them a pectin which had a high content of methoxy groups and was highly viscous.
