Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is caused by elevated blood lipids and the death rate from CHD is con- tinuously increasing in recent years. In Korea, death rate from CHD is more than 30%. Recently, it has been reported that Job’s tear decreases blood cholesterol level. However, most of the reports used Job’s tear itself. Therefore, we have examined the effect of extruded Job’s-tear cereal on blood and liver lipid levels in rats fed with a high fat diet for 5 weeks. The energy intake and body weight gain were higher in Job’s tear cereal group (JFD) than in high fat fed group (HFD). Blood triglyceride concentration was significantly reduced in JFD group (p<0.05). And Atherogenic Index was decreased about 20% in JFD suggesting favorable effect of Job’s-tear cereal on hyperlipidemia. Liver lipids levels were not affected by Job’s-tear cereal.
