Abstrakt: Two varieties of 'Vicia faba L.' equina and minor, were studied. The equina variety had a higher polyphenolic content than the minor variety. Both varieties significantly inhibited rat growth rate and 'in vivo' intestinal glucose transport, the equina variety being a more powerful inhibitor than the minor variety. However the raw legume fed animals showed a normal urinary excretion rate of 3-Methylhistidine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
