Abstract

The influence of the lipid complex isolated from the thallus of the red marine algae Ahnfeltia tobuchiensis (LCA) on the metabolic parameters of the blood and liver of rats under a high-fat diet was studied. It was shown that the administration of LCA had a pronounced lipid-correcting and antioxidant effect, which was superior to that of the “Omega 3-6-9” reference preparation in terms of its ability to restore lipid metabolism, the ratio of lipoprotein fractions, and the indices of the endogenous antioxidant protection system; in addition it prevented the development of hepatosis. The lipid-correcting and antioxidant effect of LCA is specified by the action of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, in particular eicosapentaenoic acid, which are part of the structure of phospholipids and glycolipids of marine origin and make up the main part of the studied lipid complex.
