The results revealed that among the extracts, garlic, ginger and cluster fig reduced cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, but raised the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. It is distinctly apparent that the three herb extracts out of the nine herbs studied have anti-atherosclerotic activity.
