| Abstract: | Three
varieties of linseed, viz. ‘Janki’,
‘Surbhi’ and ‘Nagarkot’ were fed to male albino rats for 40 days at two
different levels (15 and 25%), so as to see their effect on the concentration of
Total cholesterol (TC), Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), High
density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and Triglyceride (TG). A significant (P<0.05) decrease was observed in TC,
LDL-C and TG levels, whereas a significant (P<0.05) increase was seen in HDL-C
level as compared to control groups. Maximum rise in the HDL-C level was
observed in rats fed on a diet containing 25% of linseed. It is suggested that
linseed might have beneficial effect in decreasing the elevated lipid levels in
human beings also. |
