Aims: To evaluate the effects of aqueous extract of V. amygdalina on lipid profile and lipidperoxidation status in rats.Study Design: Experimentation.Place and Duration of Study: Departments of Biochemistry and PharmaceuticalChemistry, University of Benin, Benin city, Nigeria. From February, 2011 to November,2011.Methodology: Biochemical analyses were carried out to determine the activities of liverand plasma catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and levels of malondialdehyde, totalcholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.Consequently, forty-eight rats were divided into six groups of eight rats each; the firstgroup of animals was fed on rats’ chow only while others were given 90% rats’ chowsupplemented with 10% palm oil. Solvent red 24 was administered in the diet to providelevels of 0% (PO/GM). 0.005% (PO/0.005), 0.01% (PO/0.01) and 0.015% (PO/0.015). Thesixth group of animals was given 0.015% dye along with 200mg/kg extract of V.amygdalina. The animals were given these diets for six weeks along with water ad libitum.Results: There were reductions in catalase activities at all dose levels of dyeadministration and significant (P<0.05) increase in SOD and malondialdehyde levels inthose groups administered with 0.015% dye (PO/0.015). These effect was significantlyameliorated on administration of the V. amygdalina extract. LDL-Cholesterol levels wassignificantly increased and HDL-Cholesterol reduced at all levels of dye administration, this effect was significantly ameliorated in the PO/BL group on administration of V.amygdalina.Conclusion: Administration of different dose of solvent red 24 dye increased lipidperoxidation status and LDL-Cholesterol levels in rats, these effects were ameliorated onadministration of 200mg/kg V. amygdalina aqueous extract
