Abstract:

Sixty albino rats of eight weeks age with average weight of 150-200 gm each were selected. The rats were divided into five groups, on the basis of different diets. Group A animals were fed on synthetic diet while group B animals were fed on diet containing 2.9% canola oil. Group C animals were fed on diet containing 2.9% canola oil and atherogenic element. Group D animals were fed on diet containing 20 percent canola oil while Group E animals were fed on diet containing 20 percent canola oil and atherogenic element. Tissue lipid profile of albino rats was done. Hepatic omental and adrenal total lipids, triglycerides and total cholesterol were higher in groups taking Canola oil and atherogenic diet in comparison with groups taking canola oil only.
