Drug therapy with statins and other agents can result in dramatic lipid-lowering effects. Despite the wealth of data supporting the beneficial effects of pharmacologic therapy on cardiovascular risk, patients often express a desire to accomplish similar goals with diet alone. And, except for patients with extreme cholesterol elevations, consensus panels all promote dietary therapy as an initial step in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. This review examines a variety of dietary strategies designed to lower lipid levels, including the American Heart Association diet, the Ornish diet, the Mediterranean diet, exercise, phytosterols, fiber, soy products, and fish oil. Though the declines in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels with these methods range from 0% to 37%, cardiovascular risk may be more significantly impacted than would be predicted from these changes alone. Significant benefits can be reaped from nonpharmacologic measures.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of peppermint (Mentha Piperita) on blood parameters (cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), malondialdehyte (MDA), antioxidant activity (AOA), total protein, glucose, carcass yield, heart, liver weights and organoleptic control of the carcasses in laying quails. A total of 180 15 week old laying quails were used in the study. There were 5 experimental groups which were supplemented with different ratios of Peppermint up to 5%. The control group received no peppermint supplements. The experiment continued for 10 weeks. Antioxidant activity and HDL amounts increased (P<0.05) in parallel with the increase of peppermint supplementation, while LDL, glucose, MDA amounts decreased (P<0.05) with the increase of supplemented peppermint. No effects were observed (P>0.05) on the carcass quality with a 5 % peppermint supplementation to the diet. In conclusion, the supplementation of peppermint to diets up to a 5% level was found to be quite beneficial in terms of blood parameters such as MDA, AOA, LDL, and HDL.

“…Ο μηχανισμός αναφέρεται πιθανότατα στην αντικατάσταση της χοληστερόλης στα μικύλλια από τις φυτοστερόλες και πιο αποτελεσματικά από τη σιτοστερόλη (197). (93,181,184,240). Το υψηλό επίπεδο στερολών στον οργανισμό πιθανώς σημαίνει την ύπαρξη μηχανισμού παραγωγής τους (182).…”
