Abstract:

The fairy shrimp oil extracted by ultrasonic-assisted extraction method was studied for its effect on lipid
metabolism and antioxidant enzyme activities in the liver and brain of mice. The results showed that body weight gain in
mice could be slowed by the oil. It could reduce serum TC, TG and LDL-C levels significantly and lower MDA content in
the liver and brain of mice effectively. In contrast, the fairy shrimp oil could improve the activities of CAT, SOD and GSH-Px, and
enhance total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in the liver and brain of mice.

Key words: fairy shrimp oil, regulation of lipid metabolism, antioxidant capacity
