The principal objective of this study was to assess the effects of bread supplemented with silkworm powder and cholesterol on the lipid metabolism in rats. When the rats were fed on bread supplemented with silkworm powder and cholesterol, their net weight tended to decrease as compared with the controls. Although the rats’ food intake was increased, it did not increase significantly, but the feed efficiency ratio was substantially reduced. The levels of total and LDL-cholesterols were reduced, but the levels of HDL-cholesterol were increased. The HDL-cholesterol to total cholesterol ratio and level of triglyceride level were increased substantially. The atherogenic index was reduced when rats were fed on bread supplemented with silkworm powder, and thus we concluded that the bread caused an improvement in symptoms associated with high-cholesterol.
