Effect of cellulose on serum lipids in adolescent girls.
The effect on serum lipid concentration of adding 21 g cellulose to a controlled low-fibre diet of natural foods was studied in nine healthy adolescent girls. The experimental period consisted of two periods of three weeks with each subject serving as her own control. The addition of cellulose did not affect serum total lipids, cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides and free fatty acids.
