ABSTRACT
The study examined the effect of ethyl acetate fraction of
Vernonia amygdalina on body weight gain and lipid profile of animals fed a high
fat diet (HFD). Lipid profile assay was done using standard kits. Results show
that there was a significant difference in Plasma cholesterol concentrations
(mg/dL) (p>O.05) of the animals fed a HFD + ethyl acetate 217.85 + 4.16, HFD
+ olive oil 222.64 ± 6.42, HFD + orlistat 205.37 ± 7.41 and animals fed HFD
only 207.23 ± 4.74. The animals fed a LFD had significantly lower cholesterol
(p>O.05) than all other treatment groups. The triacylglycerol(mg/dL) of the
animals showed a significant increase (p>O.05) in the animals fed a 1-IFD
only 213.40 ± 33.64 relative to other treatments which are significantly non
different (p
