Hyperlipidemia produces free fatty acids that induce the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin Iβ (IL-Iβ). Secretion of IL-Iβ induced by NF-Kβ can be suppressed by short chain fatty acids (SCFA). This study aimed to determine the effects of high fiber diet on the level of IL 1β hyperlipidemia model of rats. Male Wistar rats (n=25) of eight weeks old were divided into five groups: control (K), hyperlipidemia (H), hyperlipidemia with high fiber diet in a doses of 2.6 g/rat/day (P1), 5.2 g/rat/day (P2), and 7.8 g/rat/day (P3). Serum levels of IL-1β were measured in a pre- and posttest manner. The pretest was taken at 7 weeks of treatment, while the posttest was measured at the final 13 weeks of this protocol.<br>Pretest and posttest of serum levels of IL-1β were measured with ELISA. The resulting pre- and posttest serum levels of IL-1β were analyzed with paired t-test by using SPSS 23.0 software. Serum levels of IL-1β in rats which received high fiber diet of doses of 2.6, 5.2 and 7.8 g/rat/day were significantly lower compared to the hyperlipidemia rats (p&lt;0.05). We conclude that high fiber diet could reduce the level of IL-1β in rats.</p&gt;}, number={12}, journal={KnE Life Sciences}, author={Hermawan, D and ., Sunarti and Hastuti, P}, year={2019}, month={Mar.}, pages={30–35} }
