Study of the effect of feeding two cultivars of purslane (Portulaca oleracea l.) On lipid profile and lipid peroxidation of adult male Sprague Dawley rats

Wild and cultivated purslane were collected, dried and milled to be used in rat diets. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats at 9 weeks of age, weighing (200-250g) were randomly divided into four experimental groups, 10 rats each, and fed either normal diet (group 1) or high cholesterol diet (HCD) (1% cholesterol) (groups 2, 3 and 4) for 4 weeks, at t… Show more
