Effect of dietary sodium phytate on the hepatic and serum levels of lipids and on the hepatic activities of NADPH-generating enzymes in rats fed on sucrose.
The effect was investigated of dietary 0.5% sodium phytate on the hepatic and serum lipid status in rats fed on sucrose for 29 or 30 days. The increase in hepatic weight, levels of hepatic total lipids, triglyceride, cholesterol, serum triglyceride and phospholipid, and the activities of hepatic NADPH-generating enzymes due to sucrose feeding were generally depressed by dietary sodium phytate.
