The change in the lipid profile both in the male and female rats wasin the same trend except Very Low Density Lipoprotein. In the male rats there was a statisticallysignificant decrease in the Triglycerides (p=0.001***). Similar trend was observed in case of totalcholesterol (p=0.491), Very Low Density Lipoprotein (p=0.673) and Low Density Lipoprotein (p=0.211) but these decrease was not statistically significant. There was statistically insignificantincrease was observed incase of High Density Lipoprotein (p=0.784). In the female rats there wasa statistically significant decrease in the Triglycerides (p=0.001***). In case of total cholesterol(p=0.381) High Density Lipoprotein (p= 0.714), Low Density Lipoprotein (p= 0.131), there was notremarkable change in comparison with control groups.
