Abstract
Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing was investigated in the liver and small intes tine of rats fed on beet fiber, soy protein, or fish oil as plasma choleste rol-reducing agents. The diets had no influence on the editing in both the liver and intestine, despite their cholesterol-lowering action. The results suggest that apo B mRNA editing is not involved in the cholesterol-lowerin g effect of these diets.
