Effects of the marine unicellular alga Nannochloropsis sp. to reduce the plasma and liver cholesterol levels in male rats fed on diets with cholesterol
Werman, M.J. (Technion-Israel Inst. of Technology, Haifa) | Sukenik, A. | Mokady, S.
The effects of Nannochloropsis were studied on rats consuming hypercholesterolemic diets. The whole bio-mass and the hexane/ethanol extract increased the plasma and hepatic eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids levels, and reduced the cholesterol levels. We also observed a higher level of propionate, and a lower ratio between acetate and propionate. These data suggest the efficacy of Nannochloropsis in reducing cholesterol levels.
