Abstract

Current study aimed to investigate the anti-hyperlipidemic effects of apple peel powder (APP) and apple pulp extract (APE) in male albino rats fed with high cholesterol diet. Apple contains antioxidants with potential benefits in treating chronic diseases like cardiovascular, cancer, diabetesand hypertension. Consumption of apple is associated with significant decrease of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, VLDL-C and improve HDL levels. Firstly, 18 male albino rats were divided into two groups (control and hyperlipidemic group). High fat diet 10% coconut oil, 0.5% egg yolk and 0.5% cholic acid was given for two weeks. Secondly, hyperlipidemic rats were further divided into four groups and fed on 5% and 10% APP and APE for 28 days. Rats were sacrificed to investigate their biochemical parameters. Total cholesterol, LDL-C and triglycerides levels were significantly reduced and HDL-C showed significant increase. Supplementation of 10% APP and APE ameliorated lipid markers, kidney and liver function test.
