The first was not treated and served as control (CRL), the second was gavaged by Egg Yolk (EY) at a dose of 7 mL kg-1 BW (6/7 days), the third was treated as EY and then PLVFO was applied at a dose of 1 mL kg-1 BW (6/7 days). At 28th day of experiment, the biochemical profiles were determined and then animals were sacrified for anatomo-pathological studies and carcass characteristics investigation. PLVFO has resulted in non significant decrease of total cholesterol, a significant decrease of LDL-C (PLVFO Vs EY, ANOVA, p}, journal = {OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
