Effects of Lentinula Edodes Bar on Lipid Profile and Antioxidant Status in Borderline High Cholesterol Individuals: a Double Blind Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Shiitake cereal bar for Dyslipidemias. Completed, enrolled 68 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The daily change in population routine has stimulated the development of health beneficial value added products. Lentinula edodes (Shiitake) is a mushroom with high protein concentration, low lipid content, rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins, antioxidant compounds, β-glucans and chitosan. This is clinical study phase II, randomized, double-blind for analyze in the effect of eating Shiitake bars on cholesterolemia and oxidative stress levels in individuals with borderline cholesterol. Individuals with at least one of the following biochemical markers (total cholesterol, LDL or triglycerides) at the borderline level were recruited through online questionnaire. Individuals (n = 68) were randomly allocated to two groups (Group I - Shiitake free bar (n = 32); Group II - Shiitake bar (n = 36). Each individual underwent blood collection at 0, 33 and 66 days, and received an unidentified opaque bag containing the bars.Biochemical analyzes (triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and glucose) and oxidative stress markers (Catalase, GSH and TBARS) were performed on samples of individuals.
