The effect of the purified glucan from the cell wall of P. pastoris on plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride. Thirty‐two (32) Kunming mice (16–25 g) fed with a high‐fat diet were randomized into 4 groups. Mice in each group was administered with 0.5% CMC‐Na (CG), 50 mg/kg/d β‐glucan in 0.5% CMC‐Na (LDG), 150 mg/kg/d β‐glucan in 0.5% CMC‐Na (MDG), or 250 mg/kg/d β‐glucan in 0.5% CMC‐Na (HDG), respectively, by oral gavage for 30 days. The plasma of each mice was collected on Day 31 and the plasma level of total cholesterol and triglyceride were measured following the protocol of the corresponding kit. Different superscript letters associated with the values (a, b, c, and d) represent significant differences between each comparison.
