Recent studies suggest that lecithin-rich diet can modify cholesterol homeostasis and hepatic lipoprotein metabolism. Considering the phytotherapeutic impact of lecithin, this work hypothesizes that lecithin administration in hypercholesterolemic patients may reduce cholesterol concentrations by increasing biliary secretion. Total cholesterol and LDL were evaluated after soy lecithin administra...

The present study was performed to determine whether the degree of lecithin hydrophobicity regulates bile metastability and, therefore, affects the process of cholesterol crystallization. Supersaturated model bile (MB) solutions were prepared with an identical composition on a molar basis (taurocholate/lecithin/cholesterol, 73:19.5:7.5; total lipid concentration 9 g/dl) except for the lecithin ...

Lipids are the main structural/functional components of the sperm, and their composition may undergo a series of modifications in relation to either physiologic events and/or diet. The effect of lecithin supplementation on reproductive and reproductive performance were studied in rabbits bucks. Twenty eight adult V line rabbits (at age between 7-8 months) were divided into four equal groups. Th...

The phase transition of dipalmitoyl lecithin, measured by thermal analysis, was eliminated by the plant sterol, sitosterol, and by the derivatives steryl glucoside and acylated steryl glucoside, which were isolated from soybean lipids.When digitonin was added to dipalmitoyl lecithin-sterol mixtures, in amounts equimolar to sterol, the phase transition of the phospholipid was revealed presumably...

This scientific article presents the results of ultrasound on changes in yield phospholipids, lecithin, and cephalin soybean oil depending intensity hydration process consumption hydrated solution, conventional mixing, exposure, as well 20-22 Due to use high-frequency amount non-hydratable phospholipids was reduced.

e"> In order to study the effective factors on the quality and quantity of lecithin extracted from soybean oil and the residual amount of phosphatids in degummed oil, this study <span style="font-size:...
