| Abstract: | The pattern of lipid profiles and organic constituents of cardiac and serum tissues of rabbits were studied on treatment with cholesterol, zinc and zinc + cholesterol. Total carbohydrate and total protein levels were decreased with elevated lipid levels in cholesterol fed rabbits. However, the zinc and cholesterol + zinc fed rabbits showed decreased lipid fractions in cardiac and serum tissues leading to reduced atherosclerotic process in rabbits. These results suggest that the zinc is acting as a hypolipidaemic and anti atherogenic agent in experimental rabbits. |
