Effects of dietary supplementation with camelina oil on porcine bloods lipids

The effects of dietary supplementation with camelina oil on, porcine plasma fatty acid composition and on serum cholesterol/triglyceride concentrations were investigated and compared with the effects of fish oil. The diets consisted of a control diet and diets supplemented with 5% camelina off, 10% camelina oil and 5% fish oil. The camelina and fish-oil diets increased plasma omega3 fatty acids and reduced plasma omega6 fatty acids. Plasma eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5omega3, EPA) was increased more by the fish oils diet than the camelina-oil diets. Serum triglyceride levels were reduced by the camelina-oil diets.
