“In the second experiment, we have also found that psyllium feeding lowered significantly plasma total cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol concentrations in hamsters fed n–3 PUFA but not in those fed n–6 PUFA.”
“Our data also showed that hamsters fed both high-cholesterol n–3 PUFA and n–6 PUFA diets had a significant decrease in hepatic cholesterol with intake of psyllium.”
“This study was conducted to determine whether psyllium is known to alter cholesterol metabolism modulate the hypercholesterolemic effect of a high cholesterol, n–3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) diet in hamsters.”
