Abstract: The vital significance of this research centers on health. It aims to create awareness on the effects of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and Extra Virgin Olive oil on HDL, LDL TAG and cholesterol levels and the implications on the health of human being using Cavia porcellus as experimental subjects. Thus it will play an important role in the promotion and maintenance of good health and in disease prevention. Furthermore, it will guide the consumers on which kind of fat to consume. For our research we used 20 starved male adult guinea pigs. A standardized diet consisting of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and vitamins were administered to the subjects. A bottle of extra virgin coconut oil bottle of extra virgin olive oil. Also the CHOD-PAP and GPO-PAP-Method, which were used for Lipid Profiling. Comparing EVOO and EVCO< a greater change was noted when EVOO was administered. Significant changes regarding the relationship between the lipid profiles of the male Cavia porcellus were also seen when they were given both EVOO and EVCO. There were significant changes in the effects of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil and Extra-Virgin Coconut oil on the lipid profiles of guinea pigs. Short-term feeding of EVOO and EVCO to guinea pigs produced significant lowering effects in cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides and ldl/hdl ratio levels.
