Abstract

The study was designed and performed in order to investigate the effects of butter on blood biochemistry and histo-texture of heart in mice. Thirty days old 30 Swiss Albino mice were divided into 3 equal groups (M, M1, and M2). Mice of group M were fed with normal mice pellet and were designated as control. Mice in the group M1 and M2 were fed with 10% and 20% butter supplemented feed respectively. In biochemical study, group M2 showed increase in total plasma cholesterol (P<0.001), LDL (P<0.001), TG (P<0.001), blood glucose (P<0.05), blood urea nitrogen (P<0.05) compared to mice in control group. In group of M1 there were also increase in total plasma cholesterol (P<0.01), LDL (P<0.001), TG (P<0.001), blood glucose (P<0.05), blood urea nitrogen (P<0.05) compared to mice in control group but lesser increased than the mice fed with 20% butter supplemented feed. In histopathological study there was no significant change in the heart of mice.
