“…Figure 2 depicts the organ weight changes of heart and liver in the respective treatment groups and controls. Hyperlipidemia has been implicated in the development of oxidative stress-related cardiac hypertrophy 4 , while a diet rich in cholesterol has been reported to significantly increase liver weight due to fat accumulation in the liver 31 . The results of the present study demonstrate higher liver and heart weights in agreement with previous findings.…”

has lipid-lowering effects 12 19 . Other reports have, however, demonstrated no lipid-lowering effect for policosanol 20 23 . Direct comparisons of these divergent findings have been limited by differences in regional dietary patterns and by the unknown variability of the composition of the policosanol products that were tested 24 . Being lipophilic, policosanol was reported to have bioavailability between 5 to 12 25 . In this regard, we have developed and characterized the policosanol nanoemulsion from rice bran wax, which we found to be very stable 26 . In the present study, we focused on the effects of rice bran wax policosanol POL and its nanoemulsion NPOL on plasma homocysteine, heart and liver histology, and regulation of hepatic PPARG mRNA in hyperlipidemic Sprague Dawley rats.
