“…In recent years, researchers have focused on Nigella sativa commonly known as black seed and Piper guineense commonly known as Uziza whose aqueous extracts were reported to have a positive influence on the reproductive profile; Piper guineense was found to have exerted hypolipidemic effects by reducing the cholesterol induced body weight and increased the body's anti-oxidant defense system, as well asinfluencing the increase in steriodogenic pathways that mediated testosterone production [7,8].…”

“…The pathophysiology of primary hyperlipidemia involve the idiopathic hyperchylomicronemia in which defect in lipid metabolism leads to hypertriglyceridemia and hyperchylomicronemia caused by a defect in lipoprotein lipase activity or the absence of the surface apoprotein CII31. In secondary hyperlipidemia, the postprandial absorption of chylomicrons from the gastrointestinal tract occurs 30-60 min after ingestion of a meal containing fat that may increase serum triglycerides for 3-10 hours [15].…”
