ABSTRACT
The hypolipaemic effect of different dietary fibres (cellulose, oat bran, wheat bran) added to diets for rats was evaluated on 36 animals. The best results in lowering total serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (2.08 and 0.88 mmol/l, respectively) were obtained in the group with oat bran. The highest total caecal and caecal tissue weights (1.36 and 0.43 g/100 g BW, respectively) as well as butyric acid production (13.23 µmol/g of caecal content) were observed in this group as compared with the cellulose and wheat bran groups.
