✦ Synopsis

The effect on Oenotherapumdoxa oil on blood serum and liver lipids metabolism in rats fed a semisynthetic high-fat cholesterol enriched diets was investigated. The source of fats was sunflower oil or lard in 15 % quantities and the source of protein was soybean protein isolate in 27 % quantity. The diets were enriched with 0.5 % cholesterol. This dietary experiment was carried on for 8 weeks. For the first 4 weeks rats were fed standard diet and for the next 4 weeks Oe. pamdoxa oil (300 mgldayirat) was additionally given by stomach-tube. At the end of experiment the contents of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and free fatty acids in blood serum as well as cholesterol and triglycerides level in liver were determined. It was found, that the addition of cholesterol to the diet decreased the hypocholesterolemic and hypotriglyceridemic effects of Oe. paradoxa oil both in blood serum and liver. It have not had any significant effect on the free fatty acid concentration in blood serum decrease by Oe. paradoxa oil intake.
