Abstract

　Intake of baobab fruit powder (BBFP) significantly suppressed body weight gain and decreased the levels of serum and liver cholesterol levels in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet. These results suggest that these effects may be due to the soluble dietary fiber that is present in substantial amounts in the fruit.
