Effects of Allium cepa on Lipid Profile and Cardiac Enzyme Marker in Wistar Rats Fed with High-Fat Diet

Allium cepa has been reported to contain some phytochemicals that have possible effects on weight reduction and circulating lipids. This experiment is aimed at observing the effect of A. cepa on the lipid profile and cardiac enzyme marker of albino Wistar rats fed with high-fat diet.
