Abstract

The present work was to evaluate the effect of ginger garden rocket oils (8) and garlic powder (2) on plasma lipid profile and the activity of some antioxidant enzymes of rats fed on high cholesterol diet. Thirty-six male rats were divided into 6 groups; first group fed on basal diet and served as control. Second group fed on a basal diet with 3.5 cholesterol. The other four groups fed on the high cholesterol diet supplemented with the tested oils alone and with the addition of garlic powder for 30 days. Nutritional parameters plasma total lipids total cholesterol triglycerides high and low-density lipoproteins their ratio and the activity of some antioxidant enzymes were measured. In conclusion the tested oils and garlic powder were effective in reducing the plasma lipid parameters and in restoring the activity of the antioxidant enzymes. The present work confirmed the health benefits of ginger and garden rocket oils with the addition of garlic in lowering the plasma lipid profile and enhancing the cells antioxidant state when using a high cholesterol diet.
