The aim of this study was to determine the effect of co-administration of trientine (Cu chelator agent) and flaxseed oil on serum copper and lipoproteins in diabetic rats.Materials and Methods: Rats were divided into five groups. Diabetes was induced in 4 groups. Group I received Trientine plus flaxseed oil, group II the standard diet plus Trientine, Group III flaxseed oil and group IV was a diabetic group without treatment. Group V received the standard diet as a control group. After 2 months, the serum Cu2+, TG, Chol, and HDL-C were determined.Results: In the Trientine plus flaxseed oil group, the serum TG and LDL significantly decreased (P }, URL = {http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-1805-en.html}, eprint = {http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-1805-en.pdf}, journal = {Feyz Medical Sciences Journal}, doi = {}, year = {2013} }
