Abstract

Sardine is a valuable source of protein and unsaturated fatty acids. Sardine oil was given twice daily in 14 ml doses to 18 male human volunteers whose total serum cholesterol levels ranged from 140 to 316 mg%. The largest drop in serum cholesterol (from 54 to 116 mg%) was observed in subjects with a high initial level ( greater than 250 mg%) of cholesterol. In subjects having a high normal (180-250 mg%) or a low normal (150-180 mg%) level of cholesterol, sardine oil proved to be as effective as safflower oil in reducing cholesterol levels. Thus, it would appear advantageous to use sardine oil in canning of fish on grounds of health and economy in India.
