Effect of White Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris) on Lipid Profile and Oxidative Stress in Hyperlipidemia Male Rats

Abstract

The plant white bean is used to treat hyperlipidemia , so the study was designed to know their ability to reduce lipid in the blood and effect on oxidative stress, 30 adult male rats were used and randomly divided into two equal groups The first group (C): it included (15) animals were fed regular diet., The second group: it included (15) animals also in which hyperlipidemia was introduced by adding 2%, powdered cholesterol in dite for one months The second group was divided into two subgroups as follows, Positive control group (T1) : included (6) animals, fed a high fat foods The second treatment,(T2), included (6) animals, fed a high- fat diet and administered white bean at a dose of 10% mg / kg The third treatment,( T3), included (6) animals ,fed regular diet and dosed with aqueous white bean extract at a dose of 10% mg / kg for a month The aqueous extract of white bean contributed positively to reducing improving some biochemical parameters.
