Abstract
The effects of dietary octopine, which is one of the major extractive component of marine molluscs, on the level of serum and liver choleste rol of rats fed with cholesterol-enriched or cholesterol-free diets we re investigated, Dietary supplementation with 1.5% octopine in a chole sterol-enriched diet significantly decreased the serum total- and VLDL + LDL-cholesterol levels and by contrary increased the serum HDL-chol esterol level in rats. The same tendency was observed in the rats fed with 1.5% octopine in a cholesterol-free diet.
