Abstract

Dyslipidemia is the major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease (PAD). It is characterized by higher plasma concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c), apolipoprotein B (apoB), very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-c), triglycerides (TGs) and low levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c). Herbal medicines are preferred by many across the globe particularly to manage chronic conditions such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and plenty of others. (black seeds or black cumin seeds) is a miracle herb employed within the management of many sicknesses for centuries. Hence, this review focuses on the ameliorative effects of on the plasma lipid concentrations of human subjects. Numerous randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) and different clinical studies demonstrated that possesses potential anti-dyslipidemic activity. The patients with dyslipidemia may well be benefited by using along with healthy lifestyle changes and statin and other antihyperlipidemic medications as adjuvant therapy if needed.
