The effects of octadecylamide alginic acid (amidated alginate) and tetrahydrolipstatin on serum hepatic cholesterol, the faecal output fat sterols, were investigated in rats. Amidated alginate is a sorbent lipids, an inhibitor pancreatic lipase. Rats fed diets containing cholesterol palm at 10 70 g/kg, respectively. Palm was provided by coconut meal. 40 g/kg diet significantly decreased total l...
