“…However, it is important to note that this hypercholesterolemia was observed in rabbit after 26-32 days of starvation (25), whereas our results show a more rapid response to food-deprivation in chick (only 12 h), corroborating the suitability of using this animal as an experimental model in studies on cholesterol metabolism. Our previous studies showed that cholesterol content of chick liver increased with starvation: 2.78±0.04 mg/g tissue under postprandial conditions (29) versus 3.75 ± 0.21 mg/g tissue under food-deprivation con- (6). These results support the hypothesis that cholesterol stored in the lipid droplet of the adipose tissue cell is released into plasma and is the chief source of the hypercholesterolemia observed during starvation (25).…”

“…The chick has been recognized as a suitable model for studies on the cholesterol metabolism and transport because it is highly sensitive to dietary modifications (4,6,16). The elevation in chick plasma lipid caused by saturated fat or cholesterol feeding is largely the result of increased low density (LDL) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) pools, irrespective of the major circulating lipoprotein class (21).…”

“…This enzyme activity is significant to the EPA + DHA content in the feed, and these obtained results were similar to those reported earlier by Le Jossic et al (2005) in rodents fed on tuna fish oil. Similarly, Castillo et al (1999) observed lower activity of HMG-CoA reductase, a regulatory enzyme for cholesterol biosynthetic pathway, when chickens were fed with menhaden fish oil. FFO in our study can be a sustainable alternative to commercial FO in broiler feed as it seems to have a similar effect in reducing cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations.…”

“…It has been reported that medium chain fatty acids of coconut oil raise triglyceride levels in humans, especially lauric acid, the principal fatty acid of coconut oil 22) . Studies conducted in chicks have shown that feeding coconut oil alone does not cause hypertriglyceridemia, but on supplementation with 1% cholesterol, severe hypertriglyceridemia resulted 23) . In rabbits, elevated triglyceride concentration on feeding coconut oil 0.5% cholesterol compared to olive oil 0.5% cholesterol was found to be due to increased hepatic secretion of VLDL and decreased hepatic clearance of VLDL triglyceride 24) .…”
