Abstract
In an attempt to document the physiological value of seaweed on several biochemical criteria associated with atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, it has been found that the green laver, Monostroma nitidum, is effective in lowering the plasma cholesterol (Abe & Kaneda 1971). However, the effective substances were not identified in those experiments. This paper deals with the identification of hypocholesterolemic substances from green laver.
