| Popis: | The aim of this study was to investigate the possible hypocholesterolemic effects of Rhodobacter capsulatus on cholesterol and triglycerides concentrations in serum, egg-yolk, and fatty acid composition in egg-yolk of quails. A total of 60, 10-week-old laying Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica) were randomly assigned into 3 treatment groups (20 quails/group), and fed diets supplemented with 0 (control), 0.02, and 0.04% R. capsulatus for 6 weeks. Eggs and blood from each quail were collected at the end of the 6-week feeding period for chemical analysis. The cholesterol fractions in egg-yolk and serum were measured by enzymatic assay, and the fatty acid composition in egg-yolk was determined by gas chromatography. The results revealed that the supplementation of 0.04% dietary R. capsulatus reduced (P |
