In this study, twenty (20) male albino rats were randomly divided into four groups (5 each). The control group were fed orally with black seed aqueous extract dose at 0.1mg/kg, 0.2mg/kg and 0.25mg/kg body weight, which were considered as group 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. At the end of fourteen(14) days, the rats were sacrificed and their blood samples were collected through cardiac puncture. Statistical analysis were done through one-way ANOVA using SPss. The result revealed that there was no significant difference (p0.05) in total cholesterol, triglycerides and very low density lipoprotein levels in the treated groups when compared to the control group. There was a significant reduction (p0.05) in the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoproteins in group four (4) animals when compared to the control. Also there is a significant increase in the levels of HDL and VLDL in group four (4) when compared to the control group. This result suggests that black seed Nigella Sativa has a favourable effect in lipid profile and seemed potential target for the treatment of hyperlipidemic condition. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Biochemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Phytochemical and nutritive composition of fluted pumpkin»Determination of ascorbic acid in selected fruits mango, orange and pineapple using spectro-photometric method»Comparative evaluation of heavy metal loads in some selected soft drinks in Owerri, Imo state»Antilipidemic effect of water (H2O) extract of desmodium velutinum leaves on albino Wistar rats»The effect of water extract of cola nitida pod on lipoprotein concentrations of albino Wistar rats»Preliminary investigation on effects of burantashi extract on lipoproteins of albino male and female whistar rats»The extraction of manganese (iv) ion from aqueous media using 1-phethyl-3-methyl pyrazolone-5»Nutritive value, anti-nutrient and mineral composition of cashew nut (Anacardium Occidentale)»Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effect of oral administration of the methanol extract of gongronema latifolium (utazi) in wistar albino rats»Comparative study on the free radical scavenging potential of turmeric and beetroot»Phytochemicals and minerals analysis of rosary pea (Abrus Precatorious leaves)»Determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons in Niger river»Qualitative phytochemical and gas chromatography mass spectrometry GCMS of Nhexane extracted leaves of sabicea calycina»Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities and reducing power of various fruits juice in Yenagoa»Charges in the concentration of nitric oxide in the serum gills brain liver and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosatebased herbicide
