Effects of soybean beta-conglycinin on hepatic lipid metabolism and fecal lipid excretion in normal adult rats.
beta-Conglycinin decreased blood triacylglycerol (TAG) levels in male Wistar adult rats. Liver mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity in the beta-conglycinin-fed group significantly increased as against the casein-fed group. Hepatic fatty acid synthase activity in the beta-conglycinin group significantly decreased as against that of the casein-fed group. Fecal fatty acid excretion in the beta-conglycinin group was significantly higher than in the casein group.
