The present study examined the physiological effects of isoflavone-rich bean sprout on the lipid metabolism of hyperlipidemic rats. Experimental hyperlipidemia was induced by the AIN standard diet with 0.5% cholesterol, 9.3% lard and 0.2% sodium cholate in SD rats. Experimental groups consisted of normal control, hyperlipidemic control, 1% or 5% bean sprout powder-supplemented groups, and 0.2% soybean isoflavone extract-supplemented group. Four weeks feeding of isoflavone-rich bean sprout powder or isoflavone extract resulted in a significant lowering of plasma cholesterol and lowering tendency of triglyceride levels.
