Effect of herbal formulation intake on health indices in albino Wistar rat model

Dyslipidemia management activity of ginger‐, garlic‐, and lemon‐based herbal mixture was tested as paste and herbal extract in hypercholesterolemic adult male albino rats. Atherogenic diet‐induced hypercholesterolemia in rats was treated by supplementing the diet with 2.5% herbal paste (4.2 g/kg b.w...

description Dyslipidemia management activity of ginger‐, garlic‐, and lemon‐based herbal mixture was tested as paste and herbal extract in hypercholesterolemic adult male albino rats. Atherogenic diet‐induced hypercholesterolemia in rats was treated by supplementing the diet with 2.5% herbal paste (4.2 g/kg b.w.) or 2.5 ml oral gavage (20 ml/kg b.w.) of liquid herbal extract daily for 42 days. Hematological and serological outcomes of herbal formulation feeding were compared with the cholesterol‐fed positive control and normal control. The results suggest the significant (p
