Abstract

The dietary effects of two high protein diets from two species of sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus andEchinus esculentus) as compared to a reference protein such as casein on serum lipid levels and on intestinal disaccharidases and alkaline phosphatase were studied. After 23 days, the containing the two sea urchins as diets compared to casein decreased the cholesterol level and significantly increased the HDL-cholesterol in serum. The consumption ofEchinus esculentus meal produced a significant decrease in lactase activity. The intestinal alkaline phosphatase activity increased not significantly in animals fed on the sea urchin meal.

Resumen

Se estudian los efectos de la ingestión de dos dietas ricas en proteína de dos especies de erizo de mar (Paracentrotus lividus yEchinus esculentus), comparando con una dieta que contiene caseína, sobre la actividad de las disacaridasas y fosfatasa alcalina intestinales y los niveles de lípidos en suero. Después de 23 días, los niveles de colesterol descienden con la ingesta de las dietas elaboradas a partir de erizo y, en cambio, aumenta significativamente el nivel de HDL-colesterol en suero. El consumo de la harina deEchinus esculentus reduce significativamente la actividad de la lactasa. La actividad de la fosfatasa alcalina intestinal aumenta de forma no significativa en los animales que se alimentan con las harinas de ambos erizos.
