Antistress and antioxidant effects of virgin coconut oil in vivo.

"Furthermore, mice treated with VCO were found to exhibit higher levels of brainantioxidants, lower levels of brain 5-hydroxytryptamine and reduced weight of the adrenal glands. Consequently, the serum cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose and corticosterone levels were also lower in VCO-treated mice. These results suggest the potential value of VCO as an antistress functional oil."
