چکیده

Three "saturated" fats of vegetable origin were fed to different groups of rabbits for periods up to 1 year. Cocoa butter and a hydrogenated vegetable oil shortening produced no hypercholesterolemia. Coconut oil feeding increased the serum cholesterol concentrations for 4 months, but a decline to baseline values occurred after 6 months. No gross atherosclerosis occurred in any animal fed coconut oil or the hydrogenated vegetable oil shortening. Slight atherosclerotic lesions were found in 50% of the rabbits fed cocoa butter. Aortic cholesterol content was slightly increased in animals fed coconut oil and cocoa butter. Dietary fats, even when highly saturated, had only a minimal capacity to produce atherosclerosis in the rabbit, a species usually highly susceptible to the induction of atherosclerosis. When a moderate amount of cholesterol was added to the diet, the serum cholesterol levels increased greatly and considerable atherosclerosis resulted. ADDITIONAL

مقایسه اثر رژیم غذایی دارای روغن ماهی با رژیم غذایی دارای الگوی چربی مصرفی ایرانی و رژیم استاندارد بر ایجاد آترواسکلروز آئورت در موش صحرایی

Background and Objectives: There are conflicting data on the effects of different types of fat on aortic atherosclerosis. This study used Wister rats to compare the atherogenic effects of a standard diet with a diet containing fish oil and another diet containing mixed oils (typical of the current consumption pattern in Iran). Methods: Thirty female Wistar rats were randomly assigned to three ...

Morphopathological study of effect of Licorice root extract on atherosclerosis process in coronary artery of male fed rabbit

Coronary artery disease due to atherosclerosis is one of the highest killers today. Cholesterol level reduction by diet or medication would lead to either halting, or decreasing atherosclerosis. We examined whether Licorice root extract can halt atherosclerosis. Fifty male rabbits randomly were divided in five groups. They had gone under normal and high cholesterol (HC) diet for six weeks. One ...

Unresolved problems in the diet-heart issue.

A enigma for the 1980s is the continuing dietheart controversy. Over 60 years ago, the cholesterol-fed rabbit model of atherosclerosis was discovered, and coronary atherosclerosis was linked to the clinical syndrome of myocardial infarction. Over 30 years ago, the role of dietary fat in the etiology of atherosclerotic disease was suggested, and epidemiologic evidence linking diet to atheroscler...

Effects of Different Fat Sources in Finisher Diet of Broiler Chickens on Performance, Fat Deposition and Blood Metabolites

The aim of this experiment was to assess the effects of using saturated fatty acid (SFA) and some unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) sources in finishing period on performance, fat deposition and blood metabolites of broiler chickens. One hundred and forty four 28-d old male broiler chickens were randomly assigned to 4 treatments and 6 replicates in a completely randomized design. Four isocaloric/iso...
