Soy β-Conglycinin (7S Globulin) Reduces Plasma and Liver Cholesterol in Rats Fed Hypercholesterolemic Diet

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the comparative hypocholesterolemic effect of soybean 7S fraction in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet. Soybean 7S globulin (b-conglycinin) was administered orally once a day to rats, and the effects were measured after 28 days. Wistar rats were divided into four groups: standard diet (STD) (casein alone), hypercholesterolemic (HC) diet (STD plus 1 g=100 g cholesterol and 0.5 g=100 g cholic acid), HCþ7S 1 diet (HC diet plus 200 mg of 7S=kg of body weight=day), and HCþ7S 2 diet (HC diet plus 300 mg of 7S=kg of body weight=day). Food intake, weight gain, animals' growth, and feeding efficiency ratio were similar among the STD and three HC groups, indicating that these parameters were not affected by treatments. Animals that had received different doses of soybean 7S globulin had lower total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)=high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio in serum and lower levels of hepatic TC and TG than those fed only the HC diet. The atherogenic indexes of HCþ7S 1 and HCþ7S 2 groups were 40% and 55% lower than that of the HC group, respectively. The results showed that the oral daily administration of bconglycinin in the diet to HC rats, at between 1.85% and 2.75% of total ingested protein, promotes the reduction of TC, LDLcholesterol, and TG and an increase in HDL-cholesterol in the plasma, besides a small but significant reduction in cholesterol and TG levels in the liver of the animals as well as a reduced atherogenic index.

Protective effect of dietary flavonoid quercetin against lipemic-oxidative hepatic injury in hypercholesterolemic rats

“…This study also revealed that HCD caused a marked increase in the liver TG and cholesterol contents ( Table 1). The marked deposition of TG in the rat liver was explained by increasing the rate of hepatic lipogenesis, concomitantly with the ability of ROS to block its secretion into the plasma (Ferreira Ede et al, 2011). It has also been suggested that high contents of liver cholesterol is due to disturbed catabolism of cholesterol into bile acids (Halim et al, 1997).…”

Effect of Phytoestrogens on Lipid Profile: Mini Review

“…Animal experiments have shown that the serum lipidlowering properties of soy protein are primarily due to the presence of isoflavones [29]. Soy contents of 7S globulin protein possibly upregulate LDL receptors and thereby reduce serum LDL concentrations has shown by some of the in vitro studies [30]. Zucker rats were fed with soy protein enriched with isoflavones for 42 days reduced fatty liver and reduced the plasma levels of aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase, increased activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, mitochondrial and peroxisomal beta-oxidation, fatty acid synthase, and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase in liver.…”

“…Changes due to LPL activity change. Therefore, in this study, it is assumed to that antioxidants may directly or indirectly affect LPL activity by varying oxidation and reduction state as the cells to studied the total antioxidant-reducing ability, cholesterol activity, MDA level, As well as other indicators, -EF effects And high body mass trumpet, the levels of Intake of high-fat foods, in vivo food conversion efficiency, lipid and KM mice atherosclerosis index [3]. Moreover, the Ratio of TC-(HDL-C) and (HDL-C) is the formula is Al, has been the risk of cardiovascular illness, like increased hazard in proportional to the increase in the proportion of directly related.…”
