title: Apolipoprotein B mRNA Editing in the Liver and Small Intestine of Rats Fed on Beet Fiber, Soy Protein, and Fish Oil.
abstract: Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing was investigated in the liver and small intestine of rats fed on beet fiber, soy protein, or fish oil as plasma cholesterol-reducing agents. The diets had no influence on the editing in both the liver and intestine, despite their cholesterol-lowering action. The results suggest that apo B mRNA editing is not involved in the cholesterol-lowering effect of these diets.
