“…In experimental animals, these mainly propionic and acetic acids stimulate insulin secretion and reduce glucose plasma levels (Brockman, 1982). However, pectin intake in rats fed with a hypercholesterolemic diet has been shown to produce negligible effects on short-chain fatty acids (Koseki et al, 1991). Fernandez et al (1994) reported that prickly pear pectin reduces plasma cholesterol in guinea pigs without affecting cholesterol absorption.…”

The influence of a daily administration of lyophilized cladodes of Opuntia ficus indica (L.) Mill. (Cactaceae) on lipid metabolism was investigated in hypercholesterolemic rats. The preparation was administered either for 15 or 30 days (by gavage at a dose of 1 g/kg in aqueous vehicle in a volume of 1.5 ml/100 g b.w.). Cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglyceride plasma levels were assayed. Statistically significant reductions in cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride plasma levels were found. The treatment was more effective after 30 days. The effects are probably due to the high fiber content of the cladodes, but other active ingredients could be operating in conjunction with this.

“…It has been hypothesized that the fibers are fermented in the colon, and give rise to the short-chain fatty acids: acetate, butyrate, and propionate. These volatile fatty acids may, subsequently, be absorbed through the portal vein and reduce the hepatic synthesis of cholesterol [13][14][15]. Another popular hypothesis focuses on changes in cholesterol and bile acid absorption and reabsorption [16,17].…”

Soluble dietary fibers have been shown to reduce total plasma cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, the two important risk factors for coronary heart disease. Multiple mechanisms appear to be involved in the hypocholesterolemic response, and data indicate that the profile of operating mechanisms may vary considerably among different dietary fiber sources. The mechanisms which have been suggested include binding of bile acids and interference with their enterohepatic circulation, interference with micelle formation, and reduced hepatic cholesterol synthesis. An examination of hypocholesterolemic action of dietary pectin indicates that this effect is due to a shift of cholesterol from plasma to the hepatic pools.
