Faculty of Pharmacy, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan The effects of orally administered crude garlic and vitamin E individually and in combination were studied on biochemical parameters of hyperiipidemia in rabbits. AİI the treatments exhibited lowering effect on serum cholesterol, serum low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and serum triglycerides concentrations. The serum high-density lipoproteins (HDL) were boosted to significant levels only by the combination therapy. Vitamin E used alone depicted lipid profile lowering activity in all parameters of the study. The combination therapy markedly increased the cardio- protective lipoproteins HDL which was not significantly raised by the effect of individual drugs.
