Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: A feeding study in rats investigated the principal active component for the hypocholesterolemic effect of soy protein isolate (SPI) by comparing the effect before and after ethanol washing. METHODS: Five-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed cholesterol-enriched AIN-93G diets containing 20% casein (CAS), 20% SPI, 20% ethanol-washed SPI (EWS), 18.4% EWS plus 1.6% ethanol extract (EE), or 20% CAS plus 1.6% EE for 2 wk. RESULTS: Plasma cholesterol concentrations in rats fed EWS and SPI were comparable and were significantly lower than those in rats fed CAS. The addition of EE to EWS and CAS did not influence plasma cholesterol level. Fecal steroid excretion of the three SPI groups was higher than that of the two CAS groups. The addition of EE to EWS and CAS showed a tendency to increase acidic steroid and decrease neutral steroid. CONCLUSIONS: In this experiment which used identifiable protein preparations, a significant fraction of the cholesterol-lowering effect of SPI in rats was attributed to its protein component but not to the ethanol-extractable minor constituents including isoflavones.
