| Summary: | ABSTRACT
The role of phenolic compounds on antihypercholeserol activity of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) has been
investigated. The in vivo studies ware carried out by treatment of two groups of Wistar white mouse (Ratus
norvegicus) using high phenolic VCO and low phenolic VCO respectively, followed by analysis of lipid profile in blood
and liverserum of the mouse. In addition a group of hypercholesterol mouse was treated with low phenolic VCO and
the blood serum lipid profile was compared with untreated hypercholesterol mouse. The results show that phenolic
compound play an important role on antihypercholesterol of VCO. Group ()f mouse treated with high phenolic VCO
have better lipid profile (blood serum: total cholesterol: 70 mg/dL, triglyceride: 76 mg/dL, HOL: 20 mg/dL, LOL: 35
mg/dL |
