Seven male hyperlipidemic patients substituted approximately 140g dried beans daily for other sources of starch in their diet over a 4-month period. After this, mean fasting serum triglyceride levels were reduced by 25 +/- 5% (p less than 0.01) while total serum cholesterol levels were 7 +/- 2% (p less than 0.5) lower than the values measured during the previous five clinic attendances (12 +/- 2.5 months). However, low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels remained unaltered. While taking beans a nonsignificant fall (0.7 kg) was seen in body weight. Nevertheless no change was seen in macronutrient intake determined by 1-wk diet histories recorded both before and four times during the study, although cholesterol intake decreased by 80 mg (p less than 0.02). Reintroduction of dried leguminous seeds into a Western diet may be a useful adjunct to the management of hyperlipidemia.
七名男性高脂血症患者在四个月的时间里，每天用约140克干豆替代饮食中的其他淀粉来源。此后，空腹血清甘油三酯平均水平降低了25±5%（p<0.01），而血清总胆固醇水平比前五次门诊就诊（12±2.5个月）时测得的值低7±2%（p<0.5）。然而，低密度和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平保持不变。食用豆类期间，体重出现了不显著的下降（0.7千克）。尽管胆固醇摄入量减少了80毫克（p<0.02），但根据研究前记录的1周饮食史以及研究期间四次记录的情况来看，常量营养素摄入量并未发生变化。将干豆类种子重新纳入西方饮食可能是高脂血症管理的一种有用辅助手段。
