Abstract
|
|
|
|
In this study, the effects of sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrical) seed oil and yukdomok (Chionanthus retusa L.) seed oil intake on lipid levels of blood and organs in mice were compared with those of commercially available vegetable oils. In this study, the group treated with sponge gourd seed oil showed the highest final weight, kidney weight, and content of intra-abdominal fat. The group treated with sponge gourd seed oil showed the highest total cholesterol level of 171.75±27.15 mg/dL in the blood, whereas the group treated with yukdomok seed oil showed the highest triacylglycerol level of 234.00±50.52 mg/dL. Further, the group treated with sponge gourd seed oil showed a significantly higher HDL-cholesterol level of 142.75±16.32 mg/dL compared to the other groups (p<0.05). These results suggest that oils extracted from sponge gourd and yukdomok seeds have health-related effects.
