Abstract
Hyperlipidaemia is the major known cause of cardiovascular diseases. Literatures has established the links between vitamin B complex supplementation and reduction in oxidative stress and inflammation which are two events associated with cardiovascular diseases. This study is therefore designed to assess the effects of vitamin B6 in the regulation of serum lipids such as total cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Results showed that serum total cholesterol and triglyceride were significantly reduced (p≤0.05) in rats placed on vitamin B6 supplements compared with control group. Serum phospholipids and high density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly elevated (p≤0.05) in rats placed on vitamin B6 supplements when compared with control group. The data showed antihyperlipidaemic effects of vitamin B6 supplementation in rats.
