Abstract

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a 0.2% cholesterol diet containing 20% casein (control group) or 15% casein and 5% black sea cucumber, as protein, for 4 weeks. Serum and hepatic cholesterol concentrations were significantly lower in rats fed black sea cucumber than in those fed a control diet. The ratio of HDL-cholesterol to total cholesterol was higher in the black sea cucumber group than in the control group. Fecal excretion of neutral and acidic steroids was stimulated by ingestion of black sea cucumber. These results suggest that black sea cucumber exerts a hypocholesterolemic effect by increasing the excretion of total steroids in feces.
