The serum LDL profile of control group of subjects has shown a regular increasing trend. The mean value of LDL in control group of subjects was found to be 109.0471 ± 5.29266 at 0 day. At subsequent observation period of 90 and 180 days it were reported to be 108.9235 ± 4.55725 and 109.8235 ± 4.56303 mg/dl respectively.
However in experimental group of subjects there was a regular decline in the mean LDL values. On 0 day the mean LDL value was 110.1176 ± 4.46702 mg/dl and at the end of 90 and 180 days the mean LDL values were reported to be 107.5588 ± 4.25855 and 105.9294 ± 4.41152 mg/dl. The change in the LDL values at 90 and 180 days have also shown statistical significance p 0.0005 (Table C13, C14 and C15).

The mean values of LDL in both groups at initial stage were found almost in similar range without any statistical significance. At the end of 1st follow-up stage the difference between the mean values of both groups were found to be statistically significant (p < 0.050) and at the end of 2nd follow-up stage the difference was highly significant (p < 0.001) (Table C16).
