The effects of feeding dietary and defatted oyster meat on lipid metabolism were investigated in @entity35 by comparing measurements with those of casein and @entity1460 protein. In the first experiment, male @entity35 were fed 0.1% and 1% @entity165 -supplemented diets containing casein, oyster or @entity1460 protein under the same dietary level of protein (20%). The concentrations of serum and liver @entity165 in the oyster group were significantly lower than those in the casein group for both the 0.1% and 1% @entity165 -supplemented diets. The @entity165 -lowering effect of oyster meat was more predominant than that of @entity1460 protein. Feeding oyster meat significantly decreased the serum @entity412 concentration as compared to feeding casein for the 0.1% @entity165 -supplemented diets, and it reduced hepatic @entity412 concentration in both groups fed the 0.1% and 1% @entity165 -supplemented diets. The excretion of fecal total @entity230 was higher in the @entity35 fed oyster meat than those fed casein or @entity1460 protein for both the 0.1% and 1% @entity165 -supplemented diets. In the second experiment, the effects of defatted oyster on lipid metabolism were compared with casein and @entity1460 protein in diets supplemented with @entity165 . The serum @entity165 concentration in the defatted oyster group was comparable to that in the other two groups, but the ratio of high-density lipoprotein- @entity165 to total @entity165 was higher in the defatted oyster group. The feeding of defatted oyster induced a lower liver @entity165 concentration as compared to casein and soybean protein. Serum and liver @entity412 levels were lower in the defatted oyster group than in the casein group. Defatted oyster accelerated the fecal excretion of both neutral and acidic @entity230 as compared to casein. Our results suggest that the feeding of oysters exerts a more potent hypolipidemic activity than @entity1460 protein, and the effect may be ascribed to both lipid and non-lipid fractions in oyster.
