Abstract

This study demonstrated that oral administration of C. sativum extract evokes a beneficial effect on the hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress. This implies that consumption of C.sativum seed extract could prevent or be helpful in reducing the complications of dyslipidemia associated with oxidative stress. Hypolipidemic effects of C. sativum may be due to its ability to combat oxidative stress by quenching free radicals generated in the body as a result of high fat diet.

Keywords: Hyperlipidemia, C. sativum, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress.
