2003 JUN 19 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Water-soluble soybean fiber prevents osteopenia and high cholesterol in rats.

"This study examined the effects of feeding water-soluble soybean fiber (WSSF), a highly fermentable dietary fiber with low viscosity, on intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption, bone mineral content, and serum total cholesterol levels using female Sprague-Dawley rats (5 weeks old) with or without ovariectomy (OVX)," scientists in Japan stated.

"The rats in each group were fed a WSSF (50 g/kg of diet) or WSSF-free diet for 4 weeks. Ca absorption was higher in OVX rats fed the WSSF diet than in OVX rats fed the WSSF-free diet," reported R. Mitamura and colleagues, Hokkaido University, Graduate School of Agriculture.

"Femoral Ca content in both sham and OVX rats fed the WSSF diet was higher than that in rats fed the WSSF-free diet. The serum total cholesterol levels were elevated after OVX compared with that in the sham rats, and this elevation was prevented by the WSSF diet."

"Ingestion of WSSF prevented osteopenia and hypercholesterolemia induced by ovariectomy in rats," researchers concluded.
