[Effects of chromium and fish oil on blood lipid and blood glucose in obese rats].
Obesity does great harm to people's health. In order to study the effects of chromium and fish oil on blood lipid and blood glucose in obese rats, 32 obese model rats were divided randomly into four groups: fish oil group(5 ml/kg BW), chromium group(3 mg/kg BW), fish oil + chromium group and high fat diet group. In the end of the experiment(6 weeks) fats around kidney and spermary were weighted and blood samples were collected to determine blood glucose and blood lipid. Result shows that blood glucose and blood lipid in experimental groups were lower than those in high fat diet group. The ratios of fats around kidney and/or around spermary to body weight in experimental groups were lower than those in high fat diet group.


CONCLUSIONS
Chromium and fish oil decrease the risk of obese relative diseases.
