摘要：The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) addition to the diet on serum cholesterol and triglycerides content of male rabbits. Adult rabbits were divided into 5 groups: one control (C) and four experimental groups. Experimental animals (5 in each group) received sumac per os in feed in various doses (E1 – 0.50 %, E2 – 0.75 %, E3 – 1.0 % and E4 – 1.50 %) for 90 days. Blood samples were obtained once/twice per month (5 times – I., II., III., IV. and V. blood takings). After consumption of the sumac the content of cholesterol decreased significantly (P<0.05) in E4 group versus control group in blood takings I. and IV. Generally, it can be concluded that results of the present experiment for the first time suggest the effect of sumac on decrease of blood cholesterol level in rabbits.
