title: The elevation of plasma concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in mice fed with protein from proso millet.
abstract: We examined the effects of dietary proso-millet protein on plasma concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in mice. The results confirmed also, in this animal, the elevation of plasma concentration of HDL cholesterol without the involvement in raising the concentration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol like those with rats reported in our previous paper. This would suggest a beneficial effect of millet protein on cholesterol metabolism.
