..., the authors calculated pooled estimates of the standardized mean difference and their 95% confidence intervals. Findings In summary, this study provides supporting evidence for the beneficial effects of sesame oil consumption on the total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride...

..., antibacterial activity, attachment to HT-29 cells and effect on cholesterol-lowering and digestive enzymes in mice. Design/methodology/approach Pediococcus species were isolated from mother’s milk, then tested for tolerance to acid and bile salts, their antibacterial effect and attachment to HT-29...

... intake was reported to reduce total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels with low- to moderate-quality evidence. There was a correlation between breakfast skipping and an undesirable increase in LDL levels with low-quality evidence. However, there needs to be more high-quality evidence...

...) and trichloroacetic acid soluble nitrogen (TCA-SN) levels of experimental cheeses were nearly same as for control. The results of fatty acids profile showed that jojoba oil has a unique structure of straight monounsaturated alcohols. Significantly (p = 0.05), the highest cholesterol content was recorded...

... of content in MR, RW and WR, respectively. A Mediterranean dietary pattern (e.g. fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds, wholegrains and legumes, oily fish) was recommended for cardiovascular health and lowering of BP and plasma cholesterol. Single components of this dietary pattern...

.... Anthropometric measures, fasting plasma glucose, lipid and GLP-1 were measured before and after the intervention. Findings There were no changes in anthropometric measurements and glucose level after the intervention (p > 0.05). However, plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol...
