Abstract
High blood cholesterol is a major modifiable risk factor of heart
disease. A 10% decrease in total blood cholesterol can reduce the incidence
of heart disease as much as 30%.
This hade lead to more aggressive treatment of hypercholesterolemia
as well as a renewed focus modification of life style and diet which might
promote reduction in LDL cholesterol. Lowering cholesterol level by drug
isn’t recommended except in small minority of subjects at very high risk of
coronary heart disease. Dietary interventions by contrast is safe however,
for it to be effective, it must be sufficiently vigorous to achieve drobing
blood cholesterol at least 8%.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of marjoram with some
legumes (kidney bean and lupin) on blood cholesterol level and other
some blood parameters in hypercholesterolemic rats.
Moisture, protein, fat, and ash were determined in the tested plants.
Carbohydrates was calculated by difference. The results were recorded as
dry matter basis.
