Hyperlipidemia is one of the leading causes of, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease. In this study, we evaluated the protective role of hesperidin (HES) against lipidemic stress in a hyperlipidemic model of rats. We developed a hyperlipidemic model of the rat through an i.p dose of poloxamer-407, 0.5 g/kg body weight for 3 alternative days in a week for 30 days and rats were supplemented with HES orally (100 mg/kg body weight) once daily. Bodyweight, fasting glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR index, triglyceride, cholesterol, ROS, FRAP, GSH, PMRS, AGE, MDA, PCO, AOPP, PON-1, TNF-α and IL-6, SGPT and SGOT were estimated in blood and plasma, and histopathology was done in liver tissue. Our data show that oxidative stress, inflammatory markers were increased in the P-407 treated group. Liver tissue histology also changes in the hyperlipidemic groups of rats.HES supplementation protects against P-407 induced alterations and maintains the redox homeostasis. Our results provide evidence that HES protects against lipidemic stress and redox imbalance induced by P-407 in rats.
