In the present study we used eighty male Wistar rats weighing approximately 100 ±15 gram. The animals were arranged into 8 groups; Control (C), fish oil-treatment, hypercholesterolemic group (H), hypercholesterolemic & fish oil-treatment (HF), diabetic- group (D), diabetic and fish oil-treatment (DF), combined hypercholesterolemic and diabetic group (HD) and combined hypercholesterolemic and diabetic group and fish-oil-treatment (HDF). Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (40mg/kg single dose in citrate buffer pH4.6). Hypercholesterolemia was carried out by feeding rats on diet containin3% cholesterol. Fish oil (Menhaden, Sigmaaldrich, highest purity) was supplemented orally every other day at 100mg/kg body weight. Treatment was.. View More»
