This study was conducted to investigate the ability of green tea as antioxidant and antiatherogenic in female rats after treated with 0.5o/o of H20 2 in order to induced atherosclerosis. The results showed capability of H20 2 0.5% to initiate of oxidative stress via significant increase in tissue MDA in aorta and heart associated with decrease in GSH, as well as, increase in ijDL-c and decrease in LDL-c in serum of treated rats. Histologically, aorta and heart sections revealed less improvement in histological picture, reduction lipid vacuoles in both intimal and medial • Presented at the first conference on Biology , University of Mosul ,college of Education , 4-5 September 2007
