Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of garlic, soy protein and taurine on blood lipid profiles in postmenopausal hyperlipidemic model rats. Seventy-two female Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200g were fed a commercial diet for one week. All rats were ovariectomized and then were randomly assigned to eight groups (high fat diet group; HFD group, 2% garlic powder group; GP group, taurine group; TR group, soy protein group; SP group, 2% garlic powder + taurine group; GP+TR group, 2% garlic powder+ soy protein group; GP+SP group, taurine+soy protein group; TR+SP group, 2% garlic powder+taurine+soy protein group; GP+TR+SP group).(omitted)
