32 Hamsters were fed a hypercholesterolemic chow-based diet containing 10% by weight coconut oil for 2 weeks (control). After two weeks the animals were divided into groups and fed different dietary fats, group-1: 10% coconut oil, group-2: 10% crude emu oil, group-3: 10% physical refined emu oil and group-4: 10% olive oil. At four and six weeks the lipoprotein cholesterols were re-measured. The graph shows LDL results.
