“…The crude extract of Moringa leaves has a significant cholesterol lowering action in the serum of high fat diet fed rats which might be attributed to the presence of a bioactive phytoconstituent, i.e. β-sitosterol (Ghasi et al, 2000). Moringa fruit has been found to lower the serum cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol to phospholipid ratio, atherogenic index lipid and reduced the lipid profile of liver, heart and aorta in hypercholesteremic rabbits and increased the excretion of fecal cholesterol (Mehta et al, 2003).…”

“…Flowers of moringa are considered to possess medicinal value as a stimulant, aphrodisiac, diuretic and cholagogue, and they have been also reported to contain flavonoid pigments such as quercetin, kaempferol, rhamnetin, isoquercitrin and kaempferitrin (Nair and Subramanian, 1962). The administration of extracts of moringa leaves along with high-fat diet to rats decreased the high-fat diet-induced increases in serum, liver and muscle cholesterol levels by approximately 14%, 6% and 11%, respectively (Ghasi et al, 2000). Moringa leaves have also been shown to increase breast milk production (Estrella et al, 2000).…”
