Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of zinc and copper supplementation on plasma total and HDL-cholesterol and the availabilty of copper, iron, and zinc of young male rats fed either coconut oil or corn oil. Dietary factors included two levels of copper (1.5 and 6.0 ppm), two levels of zinc (7.5 and 30.0 ppm), and two fat sources (coconut oil and corn oil). Criteria for evaluating animal responses to various test diets included weight gain, plasma total and HDL-cholesterol levels, and copper, iron and zinc deposition in the liver.
