Oil palm phenolics attenuate changes caused by an atherogenic diet in mice

Water-soluble phenolics from the oil palm possess significant biological properties.In this study, we aimed to discover the role of oil palm phenolics (OPP) in influencing the gene expression changes caused by an atherogenic diet in mice.We fed mice with either a low-fat normal diet (14.6 % kcal/kcal fat) with distilled water, or a high-fat atherogenic diet (40.5 % kcal/kcal fat) containing cholesterol. The latter group was given either...
