  • Abstract:
  • This study investigates the effect of lemon juice on serum cholesterol levels in albino mice (Mus musculus). Hypercholesterolemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and natural dietary interventions, such as citrus juices, have been proposed to modulate cholesterol levels. The experiment used two groups of albino mice: a control group receiving distilled water and a hyperlipidaemic test group receiving a high-fat diet (10 mL/kg body weight) and lemon juice extract (20 mL/kg/day) for 35 days. Serum cholesterol levels were measured before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS to determine the significance of changes. The results indicate a significant reduction in serum cholesterol levels in the treated group, suggesting the potential cholesterol-lowering effect of lemon juice.
