To elucidate the effect of a 4 week dietary supplementation with pumpkin water extract on serum lipid and fasting glucose levels, 41 female collegians residing in the Gyeonggi area were recruited. The subjects weredivided into three groups: placebo-control (PC, n=11), treatment A (TA, 100 ml/day, n=13), and treatment B(TB, 300 ml/day, n=17). Total serum cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein(LDL)-cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), and fasting glucose were analyzed. The average age, height,weight, and body mass index of the subjects were 21.3 years, 161.1 cm, 53.0 kg, and 20.4 kg/m2, respectively.The average total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, TG, and fasting glucose level (mg/dl) were 171.4¡¾26.1, 63.5¡¾11.4, 92.6¡¾22.9, 76.8¡¾32.0, and 89.1¡¾8.2, respectively. There were no significantdifferences among the three groups in any measured parameters, and between the pre- and post-study values of the all parameters. The results indicated that the 4 week pumpkin water extract supplementation (100 ml,300 ml) did not influence the serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, TG and fasting glucose level in female collegians.
