Objective: To find out the effect of Shilajit on lipid profile of hyperlipidemic albino rats and comparison with simvastatin. Study design: It is a case-controlled interventional study of eight weeks’ duration. 30 adult male albino rats weighing about 220-250g divided randomly into three groups A, B, and C. Hyperlipidemia was induced in B and C; afterwards drugs, Shilajit and simvastatin were given. Blood samples of all groups for lipid profile were evaluated at 0, 4, and 8 weeks.
