  • Title: Research note: effects of dietary fats on hepatic cholesterol synthesis in Japanese quail.
    Author: Hood RL.
    Journal: Poult Sci; 1991 Aug; 70(8):1848-50. PubMed ID: 1924102.
    Abstract:
    Blood lipid concentrations and hepatic cholesterol synthesis were compared in Japanese quail fed diets containing fats with different fatty acid profiles. The quail fed a diet containing tuna oil had the lowest blood cholesterol concentration; those fed beef drippings the highest, and those fed safflower oil or linseed oil had intermediate concentrations. Rates of hepatic cholesterol synthesis mirrored the results for serum cholesterol concentration. Serum triglyceride concentrations were lower in the quail fed the two diets containing n-3 fatty acids in comparison with the beef and safflower treatment groups.
