Item Effect of dietary chitin on cholesterol absorption and metabolism in rats.(1992) Zacour, Albertina C.; Silva, Marcelo Eustáquio; Cecon, Paulo Roberto; Bambirra, Eduardo Alves; Vieira, Enio CarlosThe effect of chitin at the level of 5% in the diet on cholesterol absorption and metabolism was studied in Wistar rats fed on diet containing beef tallow (7%) and cholesterol (1%). When compared with pair-fed controls, rats fed on diet containing chitin had: (1) similar weight gain and feed efficiency, (2) lower apparent protein digestibility, (3) equivalent liver steatosis, (4) reduced levels of liver triglycerides and cholesterol, (5) similar levels of serum and fecal cholesterol, (6) higher excretion of triglycerides in feces.Item Effect of aubergine (Solanum melongena) on serum and hepatic cholesterol and triglycerides in rats.(1999) Silva, Marcelo Eustáquio; Santos, Rinaldo Cardoso dos; O’Leary, Maureen C.; Santos, Ronald S.The present work reports the effect of aubergine extract on serum and hepatic cholesterol and triglycerides levels in adult rats. Fisher rats were divided into three groups: the first one received a normolipidic diet and water , serving as a control; the other two received a hypercholesterolaemic diet with 30% vegetable oil and 1% cholesterol, one of these being given water while the other was given an aubergine extract. After 28 days the animals were sacrificed and serum and hepatic cholesterol and triglycerides levels were assessed. The obtained results indicated that under the experimental conditions employed, the aubergine extract increased serum and decreased hepatic cholesterol and had little or no effect on both serum and hepatic triglycerides.
