Potential Antihyperlipidemic Effect of Edaravone against Triton X-100 and High Fat Diet (HFD) Induced Experimental Model of Hyperlipidemia in Rats

Abstract

Background: Hyperlipidemia is a condition in which blood lipid levels are greater than the normal range, and it is a major risk factor for the development of cardiac heart diseases. It affects 25-30% of the urban and 15-20% of the rural population. The current hyperlipidemia classification schemes and treatment levels are based on the Adult Treatment Program-3 guidelines issued by the National Cholesterol Education Panel, but there is no permanent treatment. So, the present study was aimed to investigate the antihyperlipidemic effect of Edaravone in Triton-X 100 and High Fat Diet-induced hyperlipidemic rat models.
