    Effect of a long term feeding of a coconut oil based diet and a combined coconut oil - fish oil diet on serum cholestrol and fatty acid composition of different organs of albino rats
    (Association of Scientist and Techonologists (India), 1981) Nair, P.G.V.; Gopakumar, K.
    The influence of oil sardine (sardinella longiceps) and coconut oil together on the fatty acid composition of various organs and on the serum cholesterol level of albino rats was studied. Fatty acid pattern of the different organs was affected to varying extents by the dietary fatty acids. The level of arachidonic acid in the liver was found to be independent of the dietary supply of this acids, but appeared to be related to the level of linoleic acid in the diet. Dietary sardine was found to be very effective in lowering the serum cholesterol level even in the presence of a cholesterol-elevating agent such as coconut oil. This effect can be due to the high content of polyunsaturated acids in fish lipids as well as the nature of fish proteins.

    Influence of Vitamin E supplementation of dietary fish oils on lipid profile and blood glucose levels in albino rats
    (Association of Food Scientist and Technologists of India, 1996) Ammu, K.; Sankar, T.V.; Devadasan, K.
    Vitamin E supplementation of dietary sardine oil and shark liver oil was found to enhance the hypocholesterolemic properties and other favourable effects like reduction in serum triglycerides and increase in the percentage of HDL cholesterol in albino rats. The effect of diets having these oils with or without added vitamin E (1.5 IU/g) was compared to a sunflower oil diet and a commercial feed. The increase in the blood sugar levels in rats fed with polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-rich fish oil was insignificant. Influence of dietary fatty acids on the fatty acid composition of the lipids of heart, liver and adipose tissue of the rats fed on these diets is also reported
