Leguminous seeds in the dietary management of hyperlipidemia

Extract: Seven male hyperlipidemic patients substituted approximately 140 g dried beans daily for other sources of starch in their diets over a 4-month period. After this, mean fasting serum triglyceride levels were reduced by approximately 25% while total serum cholesterol levels were approximately...

Description
Summary:Extract: Seven male hyperlipidemic patients substituted approximately 140 g dried beans daily for other sources of starch in their diets over a 4-month period. After this, mean fasting serum triglyceride levels were reduced by approximately 25% while total serum cholesterol levels were approximately 7% lower than the values measured during the previous 5 clinic attendances. However, low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels remained unaltered. While taking beans a nonsignificant fall (0.7 kg) was seen in body weight. Nevertheless no change was seen in macronutrient intake determined by 1 week diet histories recorded both before and 4 times during the study, although cholesterol intake decreased by 80 mg. Reintroduction of dried leguminous seeds into a Western diet may be a useful adjunct to the management of hyperlipidemia. (author/emc)
