Abstract
SummaryRhesus moneys were fed cholesterol along with mustard oil (iodine No. 104), coconut oil (iodine No. 9), and sesame oil (iodine No. 110). Fecal cholesterol and plasma cholesterol, phospholipid, lipoproteins and nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) were estimated at intervals up to 6 months. Supplementation of cholesterol feeding with mustard and coconut oils raised plasma cholesterol and reduced fecal cholesterol to the same degree. The above changes were most marked when the animals were fed sesame oil. A relative decrease in the α-lipoprotein % to β + O lipoproteins was observed in monkeys fed the different oils. Plasma NEFA increased after cholesterol feeding and was highest in animals fed sesame oil. The depressant effect of the different oils on plasma cholesterol level does not seem to be due to saturation, unsaturation or fatty acid composition of the oil.
