Background: Regarding the prevalence of atherosclerosis and its complications and the role of hyperlipidemia in cardiovascular disease, this survey was designed to determine the effects of garden cress on plasma lipids.
Materials and Methods: This cross-over experimental study was carried out on 35 subjects with triglyceride levels less than 400 mg/dl. They were divided into two groups: in group one 50 gr garden cress was given daily for 3 weeks and the control group did not receive any treatment. After a one-week wash-out period, plasma lipids were measured in both groups. Then, the two groups were switched with each other regarding their treatment and the same experiments were carried out.
Results: 35 subjects with mean age of 41.7±6.9 years were studied, and the choleseterol level changed from 193±3.6 mg/dl to 200±27.9 mg/dl (P<0.001) in control group and from 202± 28.9 mg/dl to 170±29.2 mg/dl in case group (P<0.001). The changes in TG and HDL cholesterol levels were not significant. LDL cholesterol decreased from 136±31.6 mg/dl to 109± 31.4 mg/dl in case group (P<0.001) and increased from 127.5±33.9 to 139± 32.9 mg/dl in control group.
Conclusion: Garden cress (50gr/daily) can be effective in hypercholesteremia because it decreases cholesterol and LDL-Cholesterol levels.
