The trial lasted for 10 weeks and the fatty acid (FA) profile of both feed and fish muscle tissue were examined. There was no difference in growth, feed conversion rate (FCR) and mortality. The fish grew from 10 g to 110 g with a FCR of 1.25 and 0 mortality. The FA profile of the fish muscle tissue reflected the FA profile of the feed. The flesh of the fish that were fed the linseed oil diet, were extremely high in omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated FA (n-3 PUFA) with 3.75% of wet weight. This is one of the highest concentrations of n-3 PUFA ever recorded in fish flesh. In a finishing feeding test, the remaining vegetable oil fed fish were fed the fish oil diet for another two weeks immediately after the 10 weeks trial, to check for a possible recovery of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA). The wash out rate of FA towards n-3 HUFA in the muscle tissue was about 25% over this two weeks period.展开更多

Twenty four rats weighing between 120-130 g were randomly assigned into four groups. Group A was fed normal diet, Group B, C and D were fed hypercholesterolemic diet (i.e. 20% fat + 1% cholesterol) for two weeks to establish hypercholesterolemia. Group B were maintained on hyper diet while C and D were fed 5% and 10% benniseed oil supplemented diet for four weeks. Plasma was collected and analyzed for TC (total cholesterol), HDL-C (high density lipoprotein), LDL-C (low density lipoprotein) and TG (triglycerides) levels. Linoleic acid (42.44%) and oleic acid (40.60%) were the major unsaturated fatty acid in the oil. Significant increase (P 〈 0.05) was observed in the TC, TG, LDL and LDL/HDL ratio of the hypercholesterolemic rats compared to the normal control. Supplementation with Sesamum indicum seed oil at 5% and 10% levels resulted in significant decrease (P 〈 0.05) in TC, TG, LDL and LDL/HDL ratio, and significant increase in the HDL-C. The high level of unsaturated fatty acid in the oil may in part be responsible for the hypocholesterolemic effect of the oil.展开更多
