Abstract
Hypocholesterolemic effects in rats of two hull-less barleys, waxy and nonwaxy-starch genotype, were evaluated by analyzing liver cholesterol and triglycerides. A group fed cellulose control and fiber-free exhibited significant liver lipid accumulation by morphologically observation. In barley fed group, however, lipid disposition in liver was effectively suppressed. The concentrations of cholesterol and triglyceride in liver were significantly reduced in rat fed 5 and 10% fiber diets containing barley flour and ${\beta}-glucan-enriched$ fraction. ${\beta}-Glucan-enriched$ barley fraction as a fiber source showed more cholesterol-lowering than barley flour with cellulose, and this effect of ${\beta}-glucan$ from two hull-less barleys was similar. Liver cholesterol and triglyceride in cellulose control group were 14.5 mg/g and 46.1 mg/g, respectively, while those of barley and ${\beta}-glucan$ fed groups were $5.1{\sim}8.2\;mg/g$ and $20.1{\sim}31.3\;mg/g$, respectively.
