Abstract
We examined the effects of dietary proso-millet protein on plasma conc entration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in mice. The r esults confirmed also, in this animal, the elevation of plasma concent ration of HDL cholesterol without the involvement in raising the conce ntration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol like those with rats r eported in our previous paper. This would suggest a beneficial effect of millet protein on cholesterol metabolism.
