Serum lipid responses to Ethyl- p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate in rats on different carbohydrate diets

Abstract

Groups of male adult rats were administered CPIB in five diets differing only in the type of carbohydrate used. Groups with no CPIB in the diet served as controls. CPIB showed a significant cholesterol and triglyceride lowering effect in the serum of animals on all types of dietary carbohydrates. The influence of the type of carbohydrate on serum triglycerides was significant although variable in CPIB containing diets. The magnitude of serum triglyceride lowering caused by CPIB administration seems to depend upon the type of carbohydrate in the diet.
