Flaxseed meal is getting popular.
Flaxseed meal was found to be more beneficial on some
chronic conditions such as high triglycerides and liver steatosis
than soy protein meal, in a study of rats. [3]
Researchers from U.S. Department of Agriculture, MD, fed the
rats diets containing 20% of energy from casein (control), soy
protein concentrate or flaxseed meal for six months. They found
that soy protein and flaxseed meal significantly could decrease
plasma total cholesterol in slim rats. Flaxseed meal had
significant cholesterol lowering effect in obese fat. Flaxseed
meal also significantly lowered plasma triglyceride in both lean
and obese rats. And, flaxseed meal significantly lowered fat
deposition in livers of both groups of rats. [3]
Consumption of soybean and soy-based food products, as the
source of plant protein, can retard the development and
progression of chronic renal disease. Researchers from
George Washington University Medical Center noticed that the
obese spontaneously hypertensive/NIH-corpulent rat, a model of
obesity and type II diabetes mellitus that consistently develops
nephropathy resembling diabetic nephropathy. [4]
They then randomly assigned male SHR/N-cp rats to diets
either 20% casein, 20% soy protein concentrate, or 20%
flaxseed meal for 6 months. They found, plasma glucose levels
did not differ among the three groups, but plasma insulin
concentration was significantly lower in rats fed flaxseed meal
than those fed either casein or soy protein concentrate. [4]
In addition, urinary protein excretion was significantly lower in
rats fed flaxseed than in rats fed either casein or soy protein
concentrate. Morphologic analysis of renal structural lesions
showed that the percentage of abnormal glomeruli with
mesangial expansion and the tubulointerstitial score (an index
of severity of tubulointerstitial damage) were significantly
reduced in rats fed flaxmeal compared to those fed casein or
soy protein concentrate. [4]

| Flaxseed Why is flaxseed meal getting popular? What is its benefits? Flaxseed meal was found to be more beneficial on some chronic conditions such as high triglycerides and liver steatosis than soy protein meal, in a study of rats. Flaxseed or Flaxseed oil, which one offers better health benefits? Flaxseed oil alone in human subjects had no effects on the lipid profiles in some studies. Why are lignans so important in flaxseed? ingestion of flaxseed rich in lignans (matairesinol and secoisolariciresinol) improves glucose control and insulin resistance. What are the health benefits of flaxseed oil? Flaxseed oil has been shown benefits on lowering heart diseases by reducing cholesterol levels, high blood pressure and slowing down atherosclerosis. |
