Item Influence of zinc on cardiac and serum biochemical parameters in rabbits.(2001-11-22) Bhaskar, M; Madhuri, E; Abdul Latheef, S A; Subramanyam, GThe pattern of lipid profiles and organic constituents of cardiac and serum tissues of rabbits were studied on treatment with cholesterol, zinc and zinc + cholesterol. Total carbohydrate and total protein levels were decreased with elevated lipid levels in cholesterol fed rabbits. However, the zinc and cholesterol + zinc fed rabbits showed decreased lipid fractions in cardiac and serum tissues leading to reduced atherosclerotic process in rabbits. These results suggest that the zinc is acting as a hypolipidaemic and anti atherogenic agent in experimental rabbits.
