Antihypercholesterolemic and Antiatherogenic Potential of Aqueous Extract of Adansonia Digitata Stem Bark Induced by Heated Palm Oil Supplemented With Egg Yolk in Rat
Abstract:Objective: Poor control of hypercholesterolemia which mediated by overproduction of reactive oxygen species and endothelial dysfunction leads to atherosclerosis. The present study aimed to investigate the antihypercholesterolemic and anti-atherogenic effects of Adansonia digitata (AD) in heated palm oil/cholesterol supplemented with egg yolk in rat.
Methods: Quantitative phytochemical screening of aqueous extract of A. digitata was carried out to identify the phytoconstituents. In vitro and in vivo antio… Show more
