Present study was undertaken with the objective of investigating the role of calcium in modulating obesity and its effect on fecal fat excretion and lipid profile. When high calcium diet from different sources was administered, it was observed that dairy sources of calcium produced significant difference in total cholesterol (t=4) and HDL (t=3.1) levels. Although some decline was observed in lipid profile of group III (non-dairy source) and group V (supplemental calcium) but it was not significant as compared to the effect produced by dairy sources of calcium. Dairy sources of calcium produced markedly greater weight reduction (10.6 g) in obese rats followed by non-dairy sources of calcium (5.3 g) and supplemental calcium (3 g). Dairy sources of calcium induce weight loss to a greater extent than do non-dairy and supplemental sources of calcium.

Abstract


Present study was undertaken with the objective of investigating the role of calcium in modulating obesity and its effect on fecal fat excretion and lipid profile. When high calcium diet from different sources was administered, it was observed that dairy sources of calcium produced significant difference in total cholesterol (t=4) and HDL (t=3.1) levels. Although some decline was observed in lipid profile of group III (non-dairy source) and group V (supplemental calcium) but it was not significant as compared to the effect produced by dairy sources of calcium. Dairy sources of calcium produced markedly greater weight reduction (10.6 g) in obese rats followed by non-dairy sources of calcium (5.3 g) and supplemental calcium (3 g). Dairy sources of calcium induce weight loss to a greater extent than do non-dairy and supplemental sources of calcium.
