Figure 1From: Rice protein improves adiposity, body weight and reduces lipids level in rats through modification of triglyceride metabolismEffects of dietary proteins on plasma activities of alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase. Seven-week-old male Wistar rats were fed 20% dietary proteins with the supplemental cholesterol (10 g/kg diet) for 2 weeks. (A) Alanine transaminase. (B) Aspartate transaminase. Values are means ± SEM (n = 6). Bars for each value with * were significantly different from CAS (P < 0.05). ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transaminase; CAS, casein; RP-A, rice protein extracted by alkaline treatment; RP-E, rice protein extracted by α-amylase.Back to article page
