The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of feeding with diet supplemented with coriander and cumin in either powder or essential oil form with or without turmeric on hypercholesterolemic rats for 45 days. Data emphasized that rats given different experimental diets exhibited significant decrement in serum total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein compared with a group of rats given hypercholesterolemic diet while the level of high density lipoprotein was increased during experimental period. Also, feeding with diets supplemented with coriander essential oil (0.05%) or powder (11%) with or without turmeric (0.25%) from the diet were responsible for decreasing serum triglycerides while cumin powder (5%) as well as essential oil (0.07%) had lower activity in this concern. Likewise, both serum creatinine and uric acid (kidney function) were decreased as a result of feeding with all tested spices. The sameness result was recorded for either AL T or AST (liver function enzymes). Concerning serum glucose, results ascertained that dietary coriander and cumin in powder form or essential oil with or without turmeric decreased serum glucose compared with that of rats fed with hypercholesterolemic diet. It could be concluded that, remarkable beneficial could be obtained by using these spices in their powder or essential oil forms especially in hypercholesterolemic case.
