Eleven healthy adult male subjects were given yogurt with or without 6 g of PHGG in a fat tolerance test as a crossover study.
Supplementation with 6 g of PHGG significantly sup- pressed the incremental peaks and areas under the incremental curve (AUIC) of postprandial serum rem- nant-like lipoprotein particle cholesterol (RLP-C) and triglyceride (TG).
