Abstract
ABSTRACTThe impact of Origanum compactum essential oil (EO) at 80 mg kg−1 on Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemia in rats was investigated.The EO’s phytochemical composition revealed the predominance of carvacrol (35.71%), p-cymene (13.74%), and carvacrol methyl ether (11.71%). Triton WR-1339 led to elevations in total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), as well asatherogenic indices encompassing the atherogenic coefficient (AC), Castelli’s risk index I (CRI-I), and Castelli’s risk index II (CRI-II). Conversely, pretreatment with O. Compactum EO for sevendays exerted a preventive effect against the increase of TC, TGs, LDL-C, VLDL-C, AC, CRI-I.KEYWORDS: Antihyperlipidemic effectmedicinal plantstoxicityLD50 Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethics ApprovalAll experiments were performed according to the local ethical committee, Faculty of Science and Techniques Errachidia, Morocco, number FSTE/2015.Abbreviations AC=Atherogenic coefficientCRI=Castelli’s risk indexEO=Essential oilHDL-C=High-density lipoprotein cholesterolHMG-CoA reductase=Hydroxymethyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductaseLDL-C=Low-density lipoprotein cholesterolTC=Total cholesterolTGs=TriglyceridesVLDL-C=Very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterolAdditional informationFundingThis work was supported by the CNRST under grant N° PPR/2015/35.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
