Rats of both sexes were fed on a basal feed containing 1% refined
konjac meal (RKM) for 18 months and the effects of RKM on the
cell aging were observed. A comparable group fed on the basic
feed was used as the control. Results obtained demonstrate that
the long-term feeding of RKM to rats can delay the course of
cell aging of the gliocyte, cadiomyocyte, and the endothelial
cell of the large and medium arteriases, hence it is likely
to delay the occurrence of arteriosclerosis and improve the
functions of the brain, heart and vascular system.
