“…Previous studies with dietary additions of PCB in rats have resulted in increase cholesterol, triglycerides and liver lipids (Kato et al, 1982;Quazi et al, 1983). In separate studies in which cholesterol was measured in blood of subjects, Oruwari et al (1998) reported that palm oil, a saturated Ovuru et al 345 fatty acid was implicated in increased level of cholesterol in roosters and rabbits. Their findings corroborates well with the observation in this study and further supports the fact that increased cholesterol level is an index of stress in animals.…”

Biochemical parameters in blood specimens obtained from semi-adult rabbits of both sexes fed crude oil contaminated diets were examined. The diets had crude oil inclusions of 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20%. Blood samples were obtained from the marginal ear vein of representatives in each treatment group and assayed for urea, creatinine, total bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin and cholesterol. There were significant differences (P < 0.05) in biochemical parameters between control and crude oil treated animals. The biochemical changes observed indicate that ingestion of crude oil fractions cause disturbances in kidney and hepatocytes.
