Abstract:
In the last years, many experimental studies performed in humans and in animals show the relationship between dietary fibre (DF) and lipemia. All agree that fibre supplements are recommendable as a complement during treatments with hypocholesterolemic drug. Nevertheless dietary fibre interacts with the absorption of some nutrients in the diet, and thus on one hand the consumption in adequate amounts may induce the desired effect of lipemia but on the other it may not be advisable from other viewpoints.
