Abstract
The influence of dietary Linola oil (low ?-linolenic linseed oil) compared with lard (suturated fatty acids) on serum and tissues lipid concentration and hormones level was evaluated in rats over a period of 3 weeks. Linola oil reduced serum FFA (P?0.05) and total-, free-,and esterified cholesterol. The rats fed Linola oil rich in 18:2n-6 demonstrated elevation serum insulin and T3 level with simultaneously decreased liver and muscle triglycerids. The results showed beneficial influence of Linola oil toward protective action against some metabolic disorders.
