This study was conducted to determine the effect of a mixture of two water-soluble dietary fibers, psyllium husk and glucomannan, on serum lipids, fecal fat excretion and body fat. Twenty one female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into three groups (control, pair-fed control and test group) and fed a high saturated fat (20 lard) diet (control diet) or a test diet (psyllium husk and glucomannan added to the control diet at the level of 0.9 and 0.68, respectively) for 8 weeks.
