Potential role of bioactive compounds of Phaseolus vulgaris L. on lipid-lowering mechanisms
Common beans' lipid-lowering properties are attributed to their dietary fiber and resistant starch content, which inhibit intestinal lipid absorption, increase fecal cholesterol excretion, and improve lipoprotein clearance.
