Effects of the peanut oil on blood lipid and blood pressure of healthy normolipidemic individuals
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Peanut oil has been associated with reduced level of plasma cholesterol and triglyceride, possibly due to its high monounsaturated (MUFA) lipid profile. This study evaluated the effects of peanut oil intake on blood lipid levels of healthy normolipidemic young adults (18-50 y/o). Sixty subjects were recruited they were divided into two groups control group (30) and study group (30). Subjects asked to replace their soybean oil with peanut oil except the control group. The levels of total Cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterol (good cholesterol), LDL-Cholesterol and triglyceride were assayed at base line and on three months. Blood pressure and heart rate were also evaluated. The concentration of LDL-Cholesterol and total cholesterol were significantly reduced in study group (p<0.05). The week and intermediate effect of the peanut oil on cholesterol and blood pressure relative to the soybean oil suggest contribution of its MUFA composition as well as constituent in whole peanuts.
