Abstract

Introduction: Hyperlipidaemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and may be associated with metabolic syndrome. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and various phytochemicals which have beneficial role in hyperlipidaemia.

Objective - The present study was conducted to explore the antihyperlipidaemic effect of olive oil.

Methods -We studied 60 hyperlipidaemic male subjects between 40 to 55 yrs of age who were divided into study (n=30) and control groups (n=30). The duration of this study was 6 weeks during which both the groups were allowed to take routine diet and study group was given additional 30 ml of olive oil per day.

Result - After 6 weeks, study group showed a significant fall in triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol while a significant rise in HDL was recorded.

Conclusion- Thus, use of olive oil improved the serum lipid profile.
