| description | Abstract Over millennia, flaxseeds and fennel seeds have captured greater attention owing to the broad spectrum of bioactive compounds and their respective therapeutic potential. They are well‐known therapeutic plants, frequently used in home treatments for a variety of medical conditions. The novelty of this pilot study is to assess the beneficial health effects of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) and anethole‐based enriched cookies among hyperlipidemic patients. The result of sensory evaluation revealed that cookies with anethole and SDG (500 + 500 mg/day) were significantly acceptable in terms of color, texture, taste, and overall acceptability same as that of control. This study was performed among 34 patients with hyperlipidemia in a university‐affiliated hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. In this study, patients received dietary supplementation with anethole and SDG (500 + 500 mg/day) administered in cookies for 8 weeks. Patients were assigned into two groups, intervention (receiving anethole + SDG‐enriched cookies; n = 16) and placebo (n = 18), for 8 weeks. Both groups maintained the same diet and lifestyle. Pre‐ and postintervention weight, lipid profile, and liver enzyme levels were measured. Analysis of covariance and paired sample t‐test were used for comparing the two groups. After 8 weeks, a significant mean weight loss was observed in the intervention group (4.26%) as compared to the placebo group (0.3%). A significant reduction of TC (177.02 ± 5.14 mg/dL; p = .024), TG (150.19 ± 7.94 mg/dL; p = .032), and LDL (87.38 ± 3.58 mg/dL; p = .001) were compared to the control group and HDL level (57.09 ± 3.90 mg/dL; p = .035) were increased in the intervention group as compared to the placebo. Meanwhile, it had a minor improvement in AST (30.97 ± 2.95 U/L; p = .01), ALT (33.05 ± 1.52 U/L; p = .025), and ALP (112.15 ± 4.03 U/L; p = .03) among the intervention group. Thus, based on the results from the study, it can be said that anethole + SDG‐enriched bakery products could be developed as a functional dietary option for hyperlipidemia in developing countries like Pakistan. |
