Dietary egg white protein (EWP) decreases serum cholesterol levels. We previously showed that EWP decreased cholesterol absorption in the intestine. Rats subjected to permanent lymph duct cannulation were used to investigate the effects of dietary EWP on lipid transport.

- Guar gum has a hypolipidemic effect, likely due to its ability to change lipid adsorption and intestinal viscosity.
- Rats fed a diet with 5% guar gum showed lower lymph flow and lipid transport compared to those fed a cellulose diet.
- The study highlights that higher water-holding capacity, settling volume, and viscosity of guar gum contribute to its effectiveness in reducing lipid absorption.
Background: Kurozu concentrated liquid (KCL) is used as a health-promoting supplement for the treatment of disorders such as cancer, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension in Japan. We investigated the possible anti-obesity effects of KCL in rats.
Methods: Male Sprague Dawley rats were fed American Institute of Nutrition 76 formula diet and were orally administrated KCL or acetic acid at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight or deionized water for 4 weeks.
