Effects of Acacia senegal seed extract (AS, 500 mg/kg/day, p.o.) or statin (0.25 mg/kg/day, p.o.) treatment for 45 days on the alteration in plasma concentration of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), all in mg/dL and on TC/HDL-C ratio and on atherogenic index in hypercholesterolemic (Chol) diet fed atherosclerotic male rabbits.
