title: [Field bean protein diet in hypercholesteremia].
abstract: The lipid-lowering effects of Vicia faba protein are well-known only from animal experiments. According to these studies Vicia faba protein is the most powerful cholesterol-lowering agents among vegetable proteins. Therefore we examined these effects in a group of patients with hypercholesterolemia (HLP type IIa). We observed a cholesterol-reducing efficacy of the Vicia faba protein comparable with those under soy protein diets.
