Summary

Aim of the Study:

This randomized controlled experimental study aimed to evaluate the effects of cholesterol-restricted diets enriched with pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil on cardiovascular risk factors-specifically serum lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides), blood pressure, and anthropometric measurements (body weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, and fat mass)-in individuals with hyperlipidemia.

Research Questions:

Does the nutritional intervention lead to a reduction in serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) levels, as well as an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels across all study groups?

Do the groups receiving diets enriched with pumpkin seeds or pumpkin seed oil show greater improvements in lipid profile (TC, LDL-C, TG) and a more pronounced increase in HDL-C compared to the control group?

Does the nutritional intervention result in reductions in body weight, BMI, body fat percentage, and fat mass in all study groups?
