| Description | The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of selected oils addition in diet on fatty acids content in liver tissue of model animals (rats). Animals were divided into four groups and fed daily ad libidum with basic feed mixture enriched of 6% selected oils. Palm oil (control group), fish oil and Schizochytrium alga oil DHA (test groups), safflower oil (negative control) were used. At the end of the experiment liver tissue of rats was removed. Fatty acids representation in liver tissue was determined by gas chromatography. It was concluded that composition of fatty acids in the diet correlates with their deposition in liver tissues of rats and may have an effect on regulation of chronic inflammatory diseases. |
