Abstract
Body weight, lipid profile, atherogenic index and coronary risk index were determined in rats fed commercial chicken salad with dressing. Twenty four weaning albino rats were divided into three groups of eight animals, baseline, rat chow (control) and chicken salad with dressing and fed respective diets, for five weeks. Body weights, serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were determined using standard methods. Atherogenic and coronary risk indices were also calculated. Body weights and lipids profiles of animals on regular rat chow and chicken salad groups increased with age. Weight gain in rats fed chicken salad with dressing increased significantly (P 0.05) different from the corresponding values for the rat chow fed group. It is however desirable that a similar study be carried out with human subjects.
