Biochemical Approach to Lipid of Oyster Meat Extract

Abstract

In light of the increasing attention paid to health by the Japanese in recent years, a nutrition supplemental foodstuff of every description became a fad. Oyster meat extract is an example of such a foodstuff. An experiment was devised to study the lipid metabolism of oyster meat extract when give the albino rats.

Fatty acid analysis revealed that the ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids was 3: 1, revealing that the E.P.A. was found to be greater than anticipated. Thereafter, the influence of serum and blood platelets on fatty acids was studied. As a result of this study, a decrease in A.A. and a slight increase in E.P.A. were recognized. In addition, an experimental study of liver lipids showed that the administration of cam ail ta albino rats with fatty liver and hypertriglyceridemia improved bath canditians.
