We examined the physiological importance of bovine dietary proteins in rats fed diets prepared from bovine Achilles’tendons and arteries. Rats were fed for 4 weeks, with 20% casein diet (CON), in comparison with two diets containing 15% casein and 5% of either bovine Achilles’ tendons (AC) or arteries (AR) protein preparations. The serum total cholesterol concentration and non-HDL cholesterol level in the AR fed group were significantly lower (P<0.05) than those in the CON fed group at the end of the 4 week feeding period. The hepatic mRNAs were measured, and the HMG-CoA reductase mRNA level was significantly lower (P<0.05) in AR fed group compared to CON fed group. Total hepatic cholesterol concentration, in rats fed AC was significantly... |
