摘要：Male Hartley guinea pigs were fed semipurified diets containing various levels of psyllium and cholesterol to determine mechanisms by which psyllium lowers plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) concentrations. Four diets were tested: control diets with 12.5% (w/w) cellulose, and psyllium diets in which cellulose was partially replaced with 7.5% (w/w) psyllium. Two levels of dietary cholesterol were used, either low (LC, 0.04%, w/w) or high (HC, 0.25%, w/w). Plasma LDL was reduced by 30 and 54% with psyllium intake in the LC and HC groups, respectively (P
