Abstract

The potency of green bell pepper, Capsicum annuum L. and broccoli, Brassica oleraceae L. extracts in reducing cholesterol levels in the blood were examined in albino rats. Forty albino rats were randomly grouped into three. Each group was subjected to the administration of 25%, 50% and 75% of C. annuum and B. oleraceae extracts after hypercholesterolemia was induced. Both C. annuum and B. oleraceae extracts are capable of lowering the blood cholesterol levels to below the 240mg/dl range. Hence, there is no significant difference (P>0.05) on the efficacy of both plant extracts in reducing blood sugar. Seventy five percent (75%) extract was found to be the most effective concentration to reduce blood cholesterol level.
