Abstract

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of a nutraceutic, product with 53% soybean lecithin, palmiste fat and organic acids, on the lipemic and glicemic profiles of 8 adult healthy beagles, divided randomly into 2 groups: C – control group and LP – group supplemented with 2g/kg of the nutraceutic, evaluated for a 60 days period. Blood samples were collected at day 1, 30 and 60 for biochemical analysis, with the animals fasted for 14 hours. The statistical analysis was performed using the statistical analyses package Estat® 2.0, and a 3x2x2 factorial analysis. The biochemical profile of the supplemented group showed no alterations in the glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HDL levels.
