Reduction of serum lipids by soy protein and soluble fiber is not associated with the ABCG5/G8, apolipoprotein E, and apolipoprotein A1 polymorphisms in a group of hyperlipidemic Mexican subjects.

Abstract excerpt

Several studies have evaluated the effect of soy protein or soluble fiber on serum cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic subjects, with different results. We hypothesized that this response is associated with the presence of polymorphisms in genes encoding proteins involved in lipoprotein metabolism or reverse cholesterol transport. Thus, the aims of the present work were to study the effectiveness of a dietary...
