Lipids are an important nutritional component of the avian egg. A review of the literature was completed to determine the @entity844 compositions in egg yolk from some avian species. Additionally, the nutritional influence of lipid and lipoprotein content on the plasma of male @entity1 during 30-day feeding was discussed. The @entity6497 eggs had the highest @entity5031 and the lowest @entity165 content in relation to other avian species. @entity6497 had a higher proportion of 18:3n-3 (p   <   0.01) compared with other species. @entity1573 yolk numerically contained much higher levels of 22:6n-3 than those found in @entity233 , quails and geese, but the amount of 22:6n-3 in @entity6497 egg was lower by comparison with other species (p   <   0.01). After the storage of eggs at the room temperature, there was a notable loss of @entity270 (vitE) in the yolks of all species and this decrease was marginal (p   <   0.01) in @entity6497 compared with other species. There were significant (p   <   0.05) increases in plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level in all male subjects. Plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level decreased (p   <   0.05) only in @entity1 who were fed @entity1573 or @entity6497 eggs daily. Consumption of different species' eggs had no influence on the total male plasma @entity165 and @entity412 levels. LDL-C:HDL-C ratio increased (p   <   0.05) after goose and @entity233 egg consumption. Consumption of one egg/month by healthy @entity1 subjects had no effect on serum total @entity165 and @entity412 . The LDL-C:HDL-C ratio (which is a strong predictor of @entity301 risk) increased, although non-significantly, by consuming @entity1573 , quail and @entity6497 eggs.
