Ethanolic extract of ginger produced significantantihyperlipidemic action by reducing the levels of serum and tissuecholesterol, serum triacylglycerols and increasing HDL-c level.In this study, two hypolipidemic agents, were used, ’pravastationsodium and a natural material (water and ethanoIic extracts of ginger).
