Dietary Karaya Saponin and Rhodobacter capsulatus Exert Hypocholesterolemic Effects by Suppression of Hepatic Cholesterol Synthesis and Promotion of Bile Acid Synthesis in Laying Hens

Figure 1

Effect of dietary karaya saponin and R. capsulatus on the incorporation of 1-14C-palmitic acid into hepatic (a) total lipids, (b) triacylglycerol, (c) cholesterol, (d) phospholipids, and (e) cholesterol ester fraction. Differences were tested by Duncan multiple-range test. a-cValues with different superscripts differ significantly ( ); “a”, “b”, “c” indicate significant difference from each other. Values are , laying hens.
