The hypocholesterolemic effect of the protein concentrates (PCs) prepared from Phaseolus angularis,Phaseolus calcaratus, and Dolichos lablab seeds relative to that of casein were studied in hamsters.Male Golden Syrian hamsters were fed test diets containing these proteins at 12% level for 30 days.As compared with casein, the three legume PCs produced significantly lower (p < 0.05) levels oftriglyceride and total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood serum as well as lowerliver total lipids and cholesterol contents, except that P. angularis PC gave a only nonsignificantlyslight decrease in the serum total cholesterol. Moreover, only the PC of P. calcaratus gave asignificantly higher (p < 0.05) level of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Generally, thePCs of P. calcaratus and D. lablab seemed to be more potent at lowering raised serum cholesterollevels than that of P. angularis.Keywords: Phaseolus angularis; Phaseolus calcaratus; Dolichos lablab; protein concentrate;hypocholesterolemic effect; cholesterol; hamster
