The effects of the supplementation of methionine (Met), cystine (Cys), and glycine (Gly) to soybean protein or casein on serum and liver lipid levels were studied in rats. Rats were fed cholesterol-free diets containing 25% soybean protein or casein supplemented with 0.75% Met, 2.5% Gly, or a combination of these two for 4 weeks. The addition of Met to soybean protein caused a significant increase in serum cholesterol and this was slightly ameliorated when Gly was given simultaneously. In rats fed casein diets, serum cholesterol tended to decrease when Gly, or Met and Gly were added. A simultaneous supplementation of Met and Gly to casein resulted in a reduction of hepatic cholesterol. Cystine added at the 0.6% level did not cause demonstrable changes in lipid concentrations except for a drop in serum triglyceride of the casein group. When 2.0% Gly was added to cholesterol-enriched diets containing 20% protein, serum cholesterol decreased significantly only when the protein source was casein and the level attained was comparable to that observed in rats fed soybean protein. Liver cholesterol was also markedly decreased by the addition of Gly to casein. The results suggest a possible role of Gly in the regulation of serum cholesterol levels by dietary protein.
