Dietary fat content modulates the hypolipidemic effect of dietary inulin in rats

ConclusionDietary fat content modulates the hypolipidemic effect of dietary inulin. The hypolipidemic effect of inulin differs depending on dietary fat content (5 versus 20%). Specifically, 5% inulin instead of cellulose in a semi‐purified diet significantly reduces serum lipid levels in rats fed a high‐fat diet, which is strongly associated with increased total lipid and neutral sterol excretion. These results indicate that dietary fat content modulates the hypolipidemic effect of dietary inulin.
