Reversibility of the muscle fatty acid profile in rabbit was studied using two dietary fat supplementations. Thirty 4-week-old rabbits were fed a diet with 4% hydrogenated sunflower oil (SAT) for 4 weeks, which was changed to one with 4% sunflower oil (UNSAT) for a further 4 weeks. The reverse UNSAT-SAT feeding plan was also performed on another 30 rabbits. Muscle Longissimus dorsi and blood samples were taken at 4, 5 and 8 weeks. Muscle fatty acid incorporation and reversibility were demonstratcd. The SAT-UNSAT and UNSAT-SAT groups differed only in palmitic and linoleic acids at the end of the trial. Plasma cholesterol was temporarily decreased by changing the diet to UNSAT.

Abstract
Reversibility of the muscle fatty acid profile in rabbit was studied using two dietary fat supplementations. Thirty 4-week-old rabbits were fed a diet with 4% hydrogenated sunflower oil (SAT) for 4 weeks, which was changed to one with 4% sunflower oil (UNSAT) for a further 4 weeks. The reverse UNSAT-SAT feeding plan was also performed on another 30 rabbits. Muscle Longissimus dorsi and blood samples were taken at 4, 5 and 8 weeks. Muscle fatty acid incorporation and reversibility were demonstratcd. The SAT-UNSAT and UNSAT-SAT groups differed only in palmitic and linoleic acids at the end of the trial. Plasma cholesterol was temporarily decreased by changing the diet to UNSAT.Pubblicazioni consigliate
