The activity of a combination of ginger, onion, lemon and honey in rats maintained at high cholesterol diet.

Model Method Intervention (Activity) Outcome Reference
Sprague Dawley (SD) rats 36 rats were selected and divided in desired number of groups.Group I was given normal chow diet-fed (NC), Group II was given high cholesterol diet (HCD), Group III was given HCD + Simvastatin, and the rest three groups were given HCD + ZACAH extracts in varying doses (1, 3 and 5 mg/kg body weight) for 18 weeks. Simvastatin was used as control. Administration of ZACAH extracts reduced the level of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TG), and amplified the level of HDL.It exhibited therapeutic effects in rats fed with HCD. It has been concluded that ZACAH extracts enhanced hyperlipidaemia inrats. Therefore, ZACAH extracts can be employedto treat hyperlipidaemia. [67]
