Effect of resveratrol on Atherogenic diet in rats. Atherosclerosis is the disease in which disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries that are responsible in carrying oxygen-rich blood to heart and body. The plaques are formed by fat and cholesterol. To prevent atherosclerosis, the fat and cholesterol must be in low amount (Gibbon, 2013). The study of Meng, C.,Liu, J.L.& Du, A.L.(2014) on “Cardioprotective effect of resveratrol on atherogenic diet-fed rats” aims to investigate how resveratrol influence on normal and atherogenic diet in rats by checking risk ratio and lipid profile which are cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, HDL and VLDL. The 24 Male Wister rats were divided into 3 groups; 1st group (control=6) is administered water and standard diet, 2nd group (=6) is administered resveratrol mixed water and standard diet and 3rd group (=12) is administered resveratrol mixed water and atherogenic diet for 30 days. In the comparison, 1st and 2nd group were compared on how resveratrol influence on standard diet condition. After 30 days, 3rd group was divided into 2 subgroups with equal amount of rats (=6/each group); the 3rd-a group assigned to get water and atherogenic diet and 3rd-b group assigned to get resveratrol mixed water and atherogenic diet. In comparison, 3rd-a and 3rd-b group were compared on how resveratrol affects in atherogenic diet-fed
