Food Therapy: Black Bean reduced Risk and Treatment of Hypercholesterol

By Kyle J. Norton

People who turn to alternative medicine for treatment of disease in avoidance of adverse effects induced by conventional medicine should be patient. In compared to herbal medicine; food therapy sometimes takes longer than six months to ease symptoms, depending to stages of the treatment which directly address to the cause of disease.

Included a portion of black bean in your diet may have a potential impact in reduced levels of high blood cholesterol, a renowned institute study proposed.

Hypercholesterol is a medical syndrome of abnormal high blood cholesterol in the blood stream. In most cases, it is a result of prolong period intake of saturated and trans fat.

Black bean, a small roughly ovoid legumes with glossy black shells, genus Phaseolus, belongings to the family Fabaceae can be bought in most grocery stores all around the year in dried and canned forms. It is believed that black bean was first domesticated growth in South America.

According to joint study lead by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, black bean peptides (-7.2 to -7.0kcal/mol) after injection showed a significant disrupt interactions between NPC1L1,(essential for intestinal sterol absorption) and membrane proteins (regulate.Cholesterol contains) in cholesterol absorption.

The efficacy of black bean peptides in reduced levels of cholesterol in the blood stream may be attributed to the binding cholesterol receptor Niemann-Pick C1 Like- ability in cholesterol transport, found on the gastrointestinal tract epithelial cells.

In compared primary rat hepatocytes and C57BL/6 mice study, methanol extract of black bean seed coats, exhibited anti hypercholesterol activity, by significantly reduced the expression of SREBP1c, involved glucose metabolism and fatty acid and lipid production, and FAS and HMGCR, involved inflammation and stimulated the expression of the reverse cholesterol transporters.

The result in reduced hypercholeterol level also was observed in the decrease in hepatic lipid depots and significant increase in bile acid secretion with some portion of lipids used for energy generation.

Dr. Chavez-Santoscoy RA, the lead author said, "the extract of black bean seed coats may decrease hepatic lipogenesis and stimulate cholesterol excretion, in part, via bile acid synthesis".

Additionally, other researchers also in the study of black bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seed coats extracts, expressed the similar effect in reduced risk of high blood cholesterol but with phytochemicals mechanism.

Dr. the lead author said, "Contrary to the flavonoid content, saponins were correlated to the inhibitory effect of cholesterol micelle(lipid molecules) solubility as an approach to a potential reduction of cholesterol absorption".

Indeed, the high concentration of saponin in the extract showed a significant activity against cholesterol expression in fed mice, 

Taking together, black bean with an effect in interrupt cholesterol absorption through peptides in the intestinal tract and anti hypercholesterol chemical constituents may be used as potential and therapeutic food in reduced early onset and treatment of hyperlipidemia.
