Effect of different dietary brans on lipid metabolism in male albino rats.
Male albino rats were fed different dietary brans at 20% level for two months to study their effect on lipid metabolism. Wheat and corn brans significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased the serum cholesterol level while chickpea bran significantly (P less than 0.05) lowered the liver and heart cholesterol concentrations. Significant (P less than 0.05) reduction was observed in liver and heart triglyceride with all brans. Wheat, corn and chickpea brans fed at 20% level had no significant effect on serum triglyceride concentration.
