Means values for total cholesterol (CT), HDL-cholesterol (HDL), triglycerides (TG), TG/HDL ratio and glucose from animals treated with different lipids source during ten weeks.
| Parameter | Control | Coconut Oil | Goat Milk Fat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Cholesterol | 67.17 (±7.60) | 73.83 (±5.00) | 87.00 (±11.38) # |
| HDL | 16.08 (±1.86) | 15.22 (±1.58) | 26.63 (±3.16) # |
| LDL | 50.01 (±18.08) | 42.81 (±8.45) | 53.27 ±8.59) |
| TAG | 40.78 (±4.84) | 64.00 (±4.12) * | 35.50(±3.66) # |
| TG/HDL | 2.82 (±1.22) | 4.06 (±0.71) * | 1.36(±0.26) # |
| Glucose | 81.33(±7.94) | 64.86(±4.56) | 107.88(± 8.5) § |
Values are means (± SD). The diets are similar except for the fat source: soybean oil, coconut oil and goat milk fat source of CLA. The number of animals in each group is 8. Means (±SD) that doesn’t share the same letter differ significantly. # p < 0.05 vs. control and coconut group; * p < 0.05 vs. control group; § p < 0.05 vs. coconut group.
