EFFECT OF TOTAL DIETARY FATS ON SERUM CHOLESTEROL, TRIGLYCERIDES AND LIPOPROTEIN LEVELS IN RAT
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Clinical Research - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Effect of total dietary fats on serum cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoprotein levels were investigated in this study. For this purpose two different percentages (15% and 60% respectively) of fats were used. 25% dietary fat was choosen as control. Corn oil is used as a source of fat in this experimental protocol. Each treatment was carried out for 10 days. Cholesterol, HDL and LDL levels in animals receiving 15% fat (Group A) showed significant decrease. But Group B animals (received 60% fat) showed only significant increase in HDL level suggesting thereby 60% dietary fat intake does not affect cardiovascular risk factors adversely. Even HDL (good cholesterol) level increase indicates some cardio protective effect.
