Effects of polyphenolic fraction of silymarin on lipoprotein profile in rats fed cholesterol-rich diets

To study the influence of polymerised polyphenolics (PP), a fraction of silymarin (SM), on lipids and oxidant status, rats were fed high-cholesterol (1%), high-fat (10%) diets containing either lard fat (LFD) rich in saturated/monounsaturated fatty acids, or currant oil (COD) rich in polyunsaturated...

Zusammenfassung:To study the influence of polymerised polyphenolics (PP), a fraction of silymarin (SM), on lipids and oxidant status, rats were fed high-cholesterol (1%), high-fat (10%) diets containing either lard fat (LFD) rich in saturated/monounsaturated fatty acids, or currant oil (COD) rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. PP and SM were administered as dietary supplements (0.1–0.5–1.0%) for 3 weeks. PP (1%) decreased cholesterol (C) in VLDL (from 0.72±0.08 mmol l −1 in LFD control to 0.35±0.07 mmol l −1, P
