| contents | Coconut oil increases HDL-c and decreases triglycerides in wistar rats Lidiani Figueiredo Santana Kátia Wolff Cordeiro Fabíola Lacerda Pires Soares Karine de Cássia Freitas Medicina oils Dyslipidemias body composition Changes in body composition and serum lipid profile in rats, supplemented with coconut oil, are evaluated and compared to other lipid sources. Female Wistar rats received by gavage 1 mL kg-1 of saline, soybean oil, lard or coconut oil during 21 days. At the end of the study period, body composition, food intake, feces, urine, organ weight and serum lipid profile were assessed. No statistical differences between the groups were found in body composition, food intake, fecal and urinary analysis, and organ weight. In the case or plasma lipid concentrations, coconut oil and lard raised total cholesterol levels, without changes in LDL levels. On the other hand there was no change in total cholesterol levels in the soybean oil group. HDL fraction increased in all groups when compared to that in the saline group; this increase was more significant in the coconut oil group. There was significant reduction of serum triglycerides only in the coconut oil group when compared to the saline group. Supplementation with coconut oil did not interfere in weight and body composition of the animals used in current study, but revealed significant effect on the increase of HDL-c levels and decrease of serum triglycerides. 2016 artículo científico 1679-9291 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=307247622009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3072/307247622009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3072/307247622009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3072/307247622009/307247622009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3072/307247622009/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3072 Acta Scientiarum.
