Resumo
The dried marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta was fed to weaning albino rats for 12 days as the sole protein source at a protein level of 12% protein from casein. Plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, and CPK levels were significantly lower in animals given the microalgal diet than in the control group with values 19.12 %, 45.80%, and 43.90% lower, respectively. These results suggest that the marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta has potential application as a hypocholesterolemic or hypolipidemic agent.
