Review of published studies suggests that high dietary content of soluble fibre can reduce serum cholesterol by up to 17%. The reduction may be proportional to the degree of hypercholesterolemia before the change in diet. The mechanism is not fully elucidated. It may be analogous to the effect of anion-binding-resins on the metabolism of bile acids and cholesterol but it may also be due to partial substitution of soluble fibre for dietary saturated fat which causes elevation in serum cholesterol.
对已发表研究的综述表明，饮食中高含量的可溶性纤维可使血清胆固醇降低多达17%。这种降低可能与饮食改变前的高胆固醇血症程度成正比。其机制尚未完全阐明。这可能类似于阴离子交换树脂对胆汁酸和胆固醇代谢的影响，但也可能是由于可溶性纤维部分替代了饮食中的饱和脂肪，而饱和脂肪会导致血清胆固醇升高。
