Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of high amylose corn starch consumption on plasma, liver and feces lipid profiles and immune responses in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Experimental animals were fed on diets containing the high amylose starch (HAS,0, 125, 250,500 g/kg diet) for 4 weeks. HAS intake did not affect on food intakes and food efficiency ratio. Final body weights were lowered in HA100 group than in control group. HAS intakes dose dependently increased the weights of cecum and excretion of feces per day, and decreased the pH of cecum contents. And HAS intakes significantly decreased the plasma total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. But there were not significant differences total lipid, triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations in liver. The absolute and relative weights of thymus and spleen, plasma Is G and $C_3$ concentrations were unaffected by experimental diets. The splenocyte proliferations with low dose Con A (0.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/10 $\mu$L) as lower in HA25 group and HA50 group than in control group. These results demonstrate that high amylose corn starch intakes significantly improve lipid profiles in plasma.
