Comparative evaluation of the pharmacological value of virgin coconut oil, omega 3 fatty acids, and orlistat in experimental study on obesity with normo/hyper-lipidaemic diet

In this study, we compared the anti-obesitogenic effects of virgin coconut oil (VCO), omega3 fatty acids (N-3), and orlistat in obese Wistar rats fed with normo- or hyper-lipidaemic diets. The eighty rats (n = 10) that were used for this study were divided into 8 groups. The results revealed that VCO, N-3, and orlistat showed comparable effects on lactate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, c-reactive protein, gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase,...
