Popis: Experimental evidence from previous study has demonstrated the hypolipidemic effects of Oryctes rhinoceros oil (ORO) when fed as a supplement to a cholesterol-based diet. Due to renew interest in the consumption of insect derived oil, the present study was designed to elucidate the effect of Oryctes rhinoceros oil (ORO) supplementation in comparison to vitamin E on oxidative status in some tissues of rats fed a cholesterol-based diet. Forty (40) Swiss albino rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 10) and maintained on a basal diet (cholesterol free as control), a cholesterol-based diet (5% cholesterol as cholesterol), a cholesterol-based diet supplemented with ORO (cholesterol + ORO) and a cholesterol-based diet supplemented with vitamin E (Cholesterol + vit E) for 10 weeks. Animals in the cholesterol group had a significantly (p
