Abstract:
In the article the influence of the hepatotropic effect of linseed and walnut oils on the lipid composition of the rats' blood serum under CCl4 intoxication has been presented. Lipid metabolism was characterised by the assessment of total cholesterol content in the blood serum, non-etherified cholesterol, cholesterol ethers, cholesterol lipoproteids of high-, low- and very low- density as well as triaclglycerins. In rats with experimental severe liver insufficiency associated with cholesterol increase in low-density lipoproteid fraction alongside its decrease in high-density lipoproteid fraction hypercholesterolemia was progressing. Cholesterol etherification inhibition (by 31.1%) was also observed. The tendency to less intensive disorders (by 1.7-2.0) as well as the tendency to lipid metabolism normalisation in animals have been revealed under the influence of lipophilic substances studied.
