Short communicationThe effects of Chromium picolinate (cas 15713-60-7) and simvastatin on pig serum cholesterol contents in swine muscular and adipose tissues

Add time:09/10/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

In this study, the effects of two hypocholesterolemic drugs, simvastatin (a statin) and chromium dipicolinate, on serum cholesterol levels, and cholesterol contents in muscular and adipose tissues were tested. Although we find no significant effects of both drugs on cholesterol serum levels, we found a 25.5% and 18.9% reduction of cholesterol content in adipose tissue in statin and chromium dipicolinate-treated pigs, respectively, compared to controls. We also found a significant reduction in cholesterol content in Longissimus thoracis (9.6% reduction) and Psoas major (13.0% reduction) after statin administration. On the other side, chromium dipicolinate significantly reduced the cholesterol content only in Longissimus thoracis (10.0% reduction) but not in Psoas major. As a drawback, we have found that chromium dipicolinate significantly enhanced the ω6 fatty acid content in adipose tissue; simvastatin also enhanced PUFA ω6 fatty acid content to nearly significant levels.
