The effect of the intake of 'Konjac' powder on human serum cholesterol level was examined. Sixteen students (girls) and three patients were selected as the experimental subjects, and these students were divided into three groups following their daily serum cholesterol level. To A and B groups, 'Konjac' powder (12g per day) and butter (70g per day) were supplied for four days, while to C group, only 'Konjac' powder was supplied for the same period, to the patients, 3g of 'Konjac' powder were supplied for about one month.<BR>The results were as follows: 1) The intake of 70g of butter per day increased the serum total cholesterol level. 2) The intake of 'Konjac' powder decreased gradually the cholesterol level, and, in case of the patients, after the termination of the 'Konjac' powder administration period, the state of decrease was retained for a while. 3) The ratio of esterified cholesterol to total cholesterol was not influenced by this administration.
