Description
Summary:[...]there are no studies available in the literature that compare the potentially different effects of NS seeds compared with NS powder on lipids. [...]the current study aimed to compare the effect of NS seeds and NS powder on the lipid profile. All participants were subjected to measurement pre and post intervention of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL). [...]consuming NS seeds and powder can both improve the lipid profile in adults but NS seeds appear to have a stronger effect than NS powder. [...]NS is a potential protective natural agent against cardiovascular complications and could be incorporated into a range of foods eaten regularly in Saudi Arabia and in other countries. 1.
