Effects of undigested fraction of soybean protein on lipid metabolism in Brown Norway rats with different age groups. 2003 Soybean protein was reported to lower cholesterol. However, these proteins tend to have bitter taste. Debittering or removing the taste of soybean may be done to improve the taste of soybean. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding debittered undigested fraction of soybean in young and adult Brown Norway rats. Eighteen 4- and 32-week old male Brown Norway rats were fed for 22 days with 3 types of protein sources: casein (CAS), soybean (SOY) and debittered undigested fraction of soybean (UDF). The rats were divided into 3 groups with 6 rats per group. Debittered UDF from soybean isolate did not exert any aggravating effect on the age-related change in lipid metabolism. Both serum and liver cholesterol levels were decreased when UDF was fed in both age groups. Adult rats showed to have a comparable desaturation index while debittered UDF-fed young rats demonstrated the lowest desaturation index. Debittered UDF might not be efficient in increasing the desaturation of linoleic acid to arachidonic acid.
