Description:
Humans require macronutrients and micronutrients to fulfill daily energy requirements, and triglyceride is a notable example, belonging to the fat family. This is particularly consumed frequently, and is composed of glycerol, and the fatty acid, specifically differentiated into unsaturated, saturated, trans, and cis forms. Furthermore, these constituents are known to play many roles in the body, including in the hematopoietic process. This involves oxidation and consequently stem cell differentiation into many blood cells in longterm, although the effect short-term is currently unknown. The study aimed, therefore, to investigate the effect of short-term intake of different fatty acid types on hematological profile in an animal model, conducted at the Animal Laboratory, Universitas Padjadjaran in October 2018. In addition, each group comprised 6 mice, orally administered distilled water as control (Group A), fish oil (Group B), virgin coconut oil (Group C), and used-cooking oil (Group D), at a dose of 5 ?l/g body weight/day for 2 weeks. Subsequently, analysis was performed using blood measurement with hematology analyzer. The results showed lower white blood cell (WBC) count in Group B compared to D (p<0.05), alongside lymphocyte count (p<0.01). Moreover, the WBC in Group C was lower than D (p<0.01), also observed in lymphocyte count (p<0.001), % lymphocyte (p<0.01), while the % granulocyte count was higher than group D (p<0.01). Therefore, the highest total leukocyte and lymphocyte number among the other groups, as well as higher percentage of differential lymphocyte count was observed with mice provided with used-cooking oil compared to coconut oil, alongside a lower percentage of differential granulocyte count (p<0.05). However, fatty acid intake in group A, B, C, and D had no significant impact on RBC and platelet parameters. In conclusion, used-cooking oil induces a change in hematological profiles compared to fish oil and virgin coconut oil, featuring the increased total white blood cells and lymphocyte, as well as reduced % granulocyte.
