Serum and tissue lipid levels were studied in rabbits in whom egg yolk was used to induce atherosclerosis and Bengal gram was supplemented in the diet as a lipodiatic agent. Monthly serological and tissue studies were done to assess the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids and it was found that egg yolk feeding leads to statistically significant increases in all these fractions in the serum, liver, adrenals, heart and aorta. Bengal gram supplementation of the diet led to flattening of the atherosclerotic plaques and showed statistically significant decline in the organs with the exception of the kidney. This study confirms the lipodiatic effect of the bengal gram and its beneficial effect on the atherosclerotic plaque.
在使用蛋黄诱导动脉粥样硬化的兔子中研究了血清和组织脂质水平，并在饮食中添加鹰嘴豆作为降脂剂。每月进行血清学和组织学研究以评估总胆固醇、甘油三酯和磷脂水平，结果发现喂食蛋黄会导致血清、肝脏、肾上腺、心脏和主动脉中所有这些成分在统计学上显著增加。饮食中添加鹰嘴豆可使动脉粥样硬化斑块变平，除肾脏外，其他器官的水平在统计学上显著下降。这项研究证实了鹰嘴豆的降脂作用及其对动脉粥样硬化斑块的有益作用。
