Due to the side effects of chemical drugs and social tendency toward herbal medicines, it’s justified to propose new herbal remedies for prevention of cardiovascular disease. Methods: Thirty six adult male Wistar rats were used and divided into 6 groups. After induction of hyperlipidemia, group I was fed with a normal diet, group II (control) with high cholesterol diet (containing 5% cholesterol and 5% olive oil), group III was fed with high cholesterol diet and lovastatin (10 mg/kg), group IV with high cholesterol diet and leek extract (50 mg/kg), group V received high cholesterol diet and Allium ampeloprasum (leek extract) 100 mg/kg and group VI was fed with high cholesterol diet and leek extract (250 mg/kg) for 21 consecutive days through gavage. Serum cholesterol concentration, LDL, TG, HDL and ratios of CHO/HDL and LDL/HDL for each animal were analyzed by laboratory kits. Results: The regimen containing 50 mg/kg of extract resulted in a significant reduction in CHO levels (57.00 ± 2.25 mg/dL vs. 107.80 ± 3.54 mg/dL), LDL (22.00 ± 2.07 mg/dL vs. 35.80 ± 1.98 mg/dL) and CHO/HDL (1.44 ± 0.07 mg/dL vs. 2.55 ± 0.06 mg/dL) compared to the control group (p<0.05); while there was no significant changes in TG level and HDL compared with the control group (p>0.05). Conclusion: Theresults showed that ethanol extract of A. ampeloprasum could improve lipid profile comparable with lovastatin in rats. It was also conclude that 50 mg/kg dose of the extract showed the highest efficacy.
