[Findings of the importance of dietetic fiber in the regulation of cholesterolemia].
We studied the variations of some lipid indexes in cholesterolemia, lipidemia and triglycerides in relation to a diet rich in bulk. Seven adult male subjects in good health were tested for cholesterol, lipid and triglycerides before and after a two week period of a dialy diet of 40 g of whole wheat bran containing about 10g of fiber. At the some time the lipid, cholesterol and triglycerides limits were measured in 3 groups of rabbits. The first groups was subjected to a normal diet, the second group was subjected to a diet of bleached flour and vitamins, and the third group had a diet similar to the second group but with the addition of 40 g whole wheat bran. The results of our investigation demonstrated a statistically significant decrease of cholesterol lipid and triglycerides levels the special diets at the some time we did not see in increase in the third group of rabbit. Our study seems to indicate that dietetic fibers exercise a vital role in regulating the concentration of plasma lipids even if the subject continues to consume a diet rich in fats. From this we see to importance of the dietetic fibers as a protective factor in the prevention of ateriosclerotic.
