Abstract
We examined whether brewer’s yeast cell wall (BYC) is able to reduce serum lipid levels in rats fed a high cholesterol and fat (HCF) diet. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a standard diet, an HCF diet or an HCF diet containing 2.5% or 5.0% BYC for 14days. The addition of 5.0% BYC to the HCF diet significantly reduced the increment of serum total cholesterol levels. On the basis of the results obtained, BYC may be utilized as a cholesterol-lowering foodstuff.
