HERBAL MEDICINES AND THEIR METABOLITES: EFFECTS ON LIPID METABOLIC DISORDERS VIA MODULATING OXIDATIVE STRESS

Abstract

Herbal medicines have been used for centuries as alternative remedies for various health conditions. With the rising prevalence of lipid metabolic disorders, such as hyperlipidemia and dyslipidemia, there is a growing interest in exploring the potential of herbal medicines and their metabolites in modulating oxidative stress to treat these conditions. This paper reviews the effects of herbal medicines and their metabolites on lipid metabolic disorders, particularly focusing on their role in modulating oxidative stress. The methodology involved in studying these effects, the results of relevant studies, and the implications of these findings are discussed. Overall, herbal medicines and their metabolites show promise in the management of lipid metabolic disorders through their antioxidant properties.
