The effects of cabbage leaf protein concentrate (CLPC) on serum and liver lipid concentrations were determined in rats fed choles-terol-enriched and cholesterol-free diets. In rats fed the cholesterol-enriched diet with CLPC, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol and phospholi-pid concentrations in both the serum and liver, as well as the atherogenic index diet were significantly lower than those of the rats fed a casein diet. A supplement of methionine to the CLPC diet raised serum HDL-cholesterol and body weight gain, indicating that the addition of methio-nine to the CLPC diet is not only available to improve the nutritive value of CLPC but also to lower the atherogenic index. In rats fed the cholesterol-free diet, the liver total cholesterol and triacylglycerol concen-trations of the CLPC-fed rats also showed lower values than those of the easein-fed rats, however, the serum total cholesterol concentration of the CLPC-fed rats did not differ from that of the casein-fed rats.
