A comparative study on the effect of argan oil vs fish oil on risk factors for cardio-vascular disease in high-fat-fed rats

Dyslipidemia is a metabolic disorder that can induce several cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk factors such as, hypertension, insulin resistance, inflammation, and abdominal obesity [1]. Platelets activation is thought to play a crucial role in the initiation and development of atherosclerotic lesions [2]. The mechanism by which the CVD risk factors increase platelet activity is related to the production of the oxidized low-density lipoprotein as well as to the increased reactive oxygen species in patients [3].
