dc.description.abstractCardiovascular diseases represent an enormous, medical, social and economic burden to the public. Supplementation of antioxidant has a significant fall in total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol. Appropriate antioxidant therapy could be useful to prevent various cardiovascular complications Hence the study was envisaged to develop antioxidant rich supplement and find its effect on lipid profile of young women at risk for cardiovascular disease. A formulation with Italian millet flour (an under exploited millet, botanical name Setaria italica), whole wheat flour, coriander leaves and groundnut oil in the ratio of 3:1:1:1 was selected owing to its high acceptability and nutritional contribution and was given daily for a period of 90 days. On statistical analysis of lipid values before and after supplementation, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol showed significance at one per cent level. Triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol did not show any significant changes for the selected sub-sample.en_US
