Text: Improvement of serum lipids was supported by significant reductions of very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Chlorella -11 % ; placebo 11. 8 % ; P = 0. 006), apolipoprotein B (Chlorella -1. 5 % ; placebo 1. 7 % ; P = 0. 044), non high-density lipoprotein (Chlorella -2. 6 % ; placebo -0. 5 % ; P = 0. 032), and high-density lipoprotein/triglycerides (Chlorella 4. 0 % ; placebo -9. 5 % ; P = 0. 023), suggesting an inhibitory effect of Chlorella on the intestinal absorption of dietary and endogenous lipids.
