Abstract

Influence of dietary fat from milk and egg yolk on serum (blood) and liver lipid profiles was studied in rats. Male Wistar rats were fed milk fat at 5% level for 8 wk, and showed a 17% decrease in serum cholesterol and 31% decrease in triacylglycerol compared to a control group of rats fed groundnut (peanut) oil. Liver cholesterol was decreased by 20% in the milk fed group. There was no difference in serum cholesterol concn. of rats fed egg yolk compared to control animals; however, triacylglycerol and phospholipids in serum of rats fed egg yolk were decreased by 20 and 24%, respectively. In an additional experiment, animals were rendered hyperlipaemic by feeding a diet containing 0.5% cholesterol. Addition of milk fat in the diet decreased serum and liver cholesterol by 11 and 17%, respectively, compared to rats fed a control diet. Similarly, triacylglycerols were decreased by 23 and 8%, respectively, in serum and liver of animals given hyperlipaemic diet supplemented with milk fat. Egg yolk fat in the hyperlipaemic diet did not exhibit such a reduction in serum and liver lipids. Results indicated that milk fat decreased the serum and liver cholesterol levels in rats given normal and hyperlipaemic diets.
