Increases the antioxidant status in rats with Virgin coconut oil supplemented diet
Coconut and its extracted oil from copra have served
man as important foods for thousands of years. Since it
contains mostly saturated fatty acids it is believed to be
hypercholestrolemic in action.
Presently, virgin coconut oil (VCO) is gaining wide popularity in the scientific field and among the public. It is believed that VCO is more beneficial Copra oil. Since its extraction retains more biologically active components (such as vitamin E and polyphenols).
They fed the rats for 45 days with oils and a semi-synthetic diet. After the experimental period, various biochemical parameters were done.
Individual fatty acid analyses of VCO and CO were done using gas chromatography.
Effect of polyphenol fraction isolated from the oils was also tested for the ability to prevent in vitro microsomal lipid peroxidation induced by FeSO4.
The results showed that GO, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, reduced the levels of antioxidant enzymes and increased lipid peroxidation, indicated by the very high MDA and conjugate diene content in the tissues.
PF fraction from VCO was found to have more inhibitory effect on microsomal lipid peroxidation compared to that from the other two oils.
VCO with more unsaponifiable components viz. vitamin E and polyphenols than CO. That make VCO had a higher levels of antioxidant enzymes and prevented the peroxidation of lipids in both in vitro and in vivo conditions.
These results showed that VCO is superior in antioxidant action than CO and GO. It has proved that VCO is beneficial as an antioxidant.

Virgin Coconut oil (VCO), Copra Oil (CO) and Groundnut oil (GO) were taken out to compare. The item was the effect on the activities of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation levels in male Sprague–Dawley rats.They fed the rats for 45 days with oils and a semi-synthetic diet. After the experimental period, various biochemical parameters were done.
Individual fatty acid analyses of VCO and CO were done using gas chromatography.
