Effect of Dietary Level of Phytic Acid on Hepatic and Serum Lipid Status in Rats Fed a High-sucrose Diet

抄録

The effect of dietary 0.02–10% sodium phytate on the hepatic and serum lipid status of rats fed a high-sucrose diet for 14 d was investigated. Hepatic levels of triglyceride and cholesterol and lipogenic enzymes activity were reduced with increasing dietary phytate level. The addition of 10% sodium phytate drastically depressed growth, food intake, and serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
