| Description | he aim of the present study was to compare the effect of diet enriched with 6% fish oil (source of polyunsaturated fatty acids), 6% of safflower oil, 6% of oil from Schyzichytrium microalga oil and the effect of diet enriched with 6% of palm oil (source of saturated fatty acids; control) on weight of model animals. Like model animals were used 48 adult male Rattus norvegicus Wistar Albino. They were divided into 4 groups with 12 animals each and they were fed for 8.5 weeks. They were weighed every week. There were found no significant differences among all diet in feed intake and final live weight at the day of sacrifice. The only significant variety was observed in total weight gain. It was lower in SF-group in comparison with A-group, which is in contrast with our assumption. The duration of experiment was probably too short to show differences among diet interventions. |
