According to the Rural Development Administration, the study was conducted on mice by dividing them into ▲ the general diet group ▲ the high-fat diet group without rabbit meat ▲ the high-fat diet group (5-10%) and paying them for 15 weeks.
The study found that the high-fat diet group, including rabbit meat, significantly inhibited weight gain than the simple high-fat diet group, which did not include rabbit meat.
At the beginning of the experiment, the weight of all experimental groups was similar, but the weight gain in the high-fat diet, including rabbit meat, was gradually suppressed. In particular, weight gain slowed more in the diet group containing 10% rabbit meat than in the diet group containing 5%.
In order to unify the metabolic status of the experimental group, blood index analysis showed that the high-fat diet group that consumed rabbit meat had up to 38% lower blood cholesterol levels than the high-fat diet group that did not consume rabbit meat. Triglyceride content in the liver also tended to decrease by 26%, showing an overall metabolic health improvement effect. Enzyme levels indicating liver damage were also reduced by more than 20%.
Previously, studies have shown that rabbit meat extract is effective in improving obesity and diabetes.
According to a study by the National Institute of Animal Science, the accumulation of triglycerides in cells decreased by 43 to 50% in fat cells cultured with rabbit meat extract. It has been confirmed that rabbit meat extract has anti-obesity effects by converting white fat accumulated in the body to brown fat and increasing energy consumption. It has also been shown to improve diabetes by activating the insulin signaling pathway of adipocytes to increase glucose absorption capacity in adipocytes by more than three times.
Meanwhile, rabbit meat is known as a low-fat, high-protein food with lower fat content and higher protein content than beef and pork. The fat content per 100 g of beef and pork is 20.6 g, 12.84 g, and protein content is 17.88 g and 19.45 g, respectively, while the fat and protein content of 100 g of rabbit meat is 7.68 g and 20.97 g, respectively. In addition, vitamin B12 (cobalamin), which is known to help prevent dementia, is the highest among carnivores, and linolenic acid (2.73%) is known to improve memory and learning ability.
In addition, some European countries, such as Spain and Italy, are known to eat rabbit meat after cattle, pigs, and chicken.
