Hypolipidemic mechanisms of pectin and psyllium in guinea pigs fed high fat–sucrose diets: alterations on hepatic cholesterol metabolism

Studies were conducted to determine whether pectin (PE) or psyllium (PSY) could reverse the high plasma cholesterol and triacylglycerol (TAG) concentrations induced by high fat (HF) or high sucrose (HS) diets and which are the mechanisms involved. Male guinea pigs were fed either a low fat (LF) or a...
