Abstract:
For the preservation of health in rural areas, this paper reports on the variation of human serum lipids by intaking lentinus edodes.
Serum lipids levels showed no significant change by intaking lentinus edodes that amounts of 20, 40 and 60g per day each for 5 days. From data of correlationship between serum lipid levels and nutrition intake of experimental diet, it was recognized that high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol level was directly proportional to carbohydrate-fat ratio significantly (p< 0.02), and was inversely proportional to fat intake, fat-protein ratio and carbohydrate-protein ratio significantly (p< 0.05), respectively. Triglycerides level was inversely proportional to protein intake significantly (p< 0.05).
These results concluded that the decrease of serum cholesterol level by intaking of lentinus edodes in healthy young men whose serum cholesterol levels were in normal range was not recognized.
