Abstract
Cardiovascular and related disorders are one of the most common disease prevailing all over the world. Hyperlipidemic condition have been largely considered in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of Ambrex on hematological factors in hyperlipidemic rats and untreated hyperlipidemic rats. In this study, eighteen rats were randomly divided into three groups of six animals each. The groups received normal diet (Control Group A) high fat diet (HFD group B) and Ambrex treatment (Group C). After the study period, White Blood Cell (WBC), Red Blood Cell (RBC), hematocrit (HCT), Hemoglobin, platelet (PLT), lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), plateletcrit (PCT), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW), red cell distribution-standard deviation (RDW-SD), red cell distribution-correlation variance (RDW-CV), micro red blood cell (pRBC), macroRBC were measured using digital cell counter (MS9-3s). Hyperlipidemia increases markedly the PLT count. Administration of Ambrex appeared to significantly increase WBC, Lymphocytes, granulocytes. However, erythrocyte indices does not show statistically significant variations among the test groups and control groups. The findings demonstrated that Ambrex does not cause any significant undesirable alterations in hematological factors in male rats. Ambrex also enhances white blood cell concentration and lymphocytes which probably stimulate the immune defense mechanism.
