Effects of gamma-terpinene on lipid concentrations in serum using Triton WR1339-treated rats.
We studied lipid metabolism to evaluate the effects of gamma-terpinene on suppression of increases in serum lipid concentrations using Triton WR1339-treated rats. At 6 hr after Triton WR1339 injection, the total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in the gamma-terpinene group underwent statistically significant decreases (18.3 and 30.3%, respectively) compared with those of the Triton-treated group.
