The effect of dietary vegetable oils on the growth and blood glucose level of rabbit was examen. This study was carried out to observe the nutritive effect of feeding vegetable oils for a period of weeks. The experimental diets were prepared on the basis of isocaloric and isonitrogenous diet. The Experimental animals were fed on 5 kinds of diets such as control (Basal), group A(Basal + sesame oil), group B(Basal + perilla oil), group C(Basal + soybean oil), and group D(Basal + rice bran on diets for 4 weeks.
The results obtained are summarized as follows:
1. The gain in body weight of rabbit was higher for perilla oil fed group than any other group gained.
2. Liver weight of the control group, group A, group B, group C, and group D were 30.35 or 37.35 or, 37.25 or, 38.25 gr, 31.05 gr, and 39.54 gr, respectively. The reletionship between liver and body weight were 3.25, 3.99, 4.33, 4,15, and 4.57, respectively. It showed that to liver weight of group D which was fed rice bran oil was heavier than any other group showed.
3. The content of total protein and glucase level in serum of animal blood were 5.72 ㎎% 40.34 ㎎%, 5.65 ㎎%: 22.37 ㎎%, 5.95 ㎎%: 77.0 ㎎%. 5.62 ㎎%: 28.60 ㎎%, and 5.63 ㎎%: 34.10 ㎎%, respectively. As shown above, the group B was the most heaviest one.
4. It may be concluded from the above results that linolenic acid which was included in vegetable oils have an effect on interconversion among three caloric elements such as cabohydrate, protein, and fats.
