“…In the present study, this diet increased the total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and reduced HDL-cholesterol. This was consistent with earlier reports (Gonçalves et al, 2006;Matos et al, 2005;Turbino-Ribeiro et al, 2003). The treatment with annatto extract in animals fed with the high-lipid diet lowered LDL-and total cholesterol and raised HDL-cholesterol, suggesting its hypocholesterolemic effect.…”

“…Total energy was 17.18 kJ/kg. The high-lipid diet was the same, except for soybean oil, 250; cornstarch, 546; cholesterol, 10, with total energy 20.57 kJ/g (Matos et al, 2005). After 60 days, animals were fasted overnight and killed by decapitation.…”

“…This indicates that the standard diet did not influence the blood pressure of the animals. These data are consistent with the findings of (Matos et al, 2005) who carried out a tail pressure measurement with plethysmography in rats that received different diets. However, our data showed a significant reduction in the blood pressure levels in animals that received hypercholesterolemic diet in addition of bixin.…”

“…Animal models have been used to investigate the relationship between disorders in cholesterol metabolism and blood pressure (Matos et al 2005). The present study showed that the dietary model used was able to promote hipercholesterolemia and that the treatment with extracts of annatto seeds and bixin was able to decrease the blood pressure of rats.…”

“…The resultant decrease in body weight compared to controls might also be due to a decline in feed intake because of the high fat content of the cholesterol given, which might have impaired the absorption of protein and other nutrients (17,18).…”
