Yoshida et al.(2006) studied the effect of KGM (10 g/day) supplement in combination with plant sterols
(1.8 g/day) on the lipid profile and cholesterol biosynthesisinmildly hypercholesterolemic subjects with(18 individuals)
and without (16 individuals) type 2 diabetes through a randomized cross over study for 21 days.
Overall plasma LDL-C concentrations were significantly decreased after KGM diet (3.1670.14mmol/l) and combination treatments (2.9570.16 mmol/l) compared to control (3.6070.16 mmol/l) in non-diabetic and type 2 diabetic subjects
