ABSTRACT

    Study was planned to examine the effects of ispaghula on Serum Total Cholesterol and LDL-Cholesterol the design used is Single blind placebo controlled study, The study was to be conducted at department of Pharmacology and therapeutics at  Basic Medical Sciences Institute , Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, from January 2006 to July 2006. In this Forty hyperlipidemic patients to be included, among which 20 patients were on placebo as control group, and 20 were on ispaghula, 3 gram daily, in divided doses for the period of three months. Patients with peptic ulcer, renal disease, hepatic disease, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, and alcoholism were excluded from the study. Serum total cholesterol was calculated by enzymatic calorimeter method. Serum LDL-cholesterol was calculated by formula: LDL-Cholesterol = Total Cholesterol-(Triglycerides/5 +HDL-Cholesterol described by Delong et al (1986)12 and Beamount et al (1970).13 Data were expressed as the mean ± SD and “t” test was applied to determine statistical significance as the difference. A probability value of <0.05 was the limit of significance, the expected conclusion of study is that the ispaghula decreases the serum total cholesterol and LDL-Cholesterol in hyperlipidemic patients
