Potential antihyperlipidemic effects of myrcenol and curzerene in high-fat fed rats.
Article in BMC pharmacology & toxicology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The study evaluated the anti-hyperlipidemic effects of myrcenol and curzerene on a high fat diet induced hyperlipidemia rat model. Thirty male albino rats were fed on a high-fat diet for four months. The HFD-induced hyperperlipidemia rats were treated with rosuvastatin (10 mg/kg), curzerene (130 mg/kg) and myrcenol (100 mg/kg) for four weeks. Blood samples were collected for further analysis. Aorta and heart were harvested for histopathological evaluation. Hepatic lipase and HMG-CoA reductase were determined by ELISA. FST and Y-maze tests were performed to assess the stress level in hyperlipidemia rats. The phytochemical compounds (Curzerene and Myrcenol) and the standard drug (Rosuvastatin) resulted in decreased body weight as well as reduced levels of LDL, TG, TC, AST and ALT as compared to the diseased group. Additionally, the treated groups displayed improved HDL levels and less depressed behavior. The ELISA results revealed that the Curzerene and myrcenol had significantly increased the protein concentration of hepatic lipase than the diseased group whereas both compounds significantly lowered the HMG-CoA reductase concentrations compared to the diseased group. The findings suggested that myrcenol and curzerene had the potential to be therapeutic agents for managing hyperlipidemia and reducing the risk of heart-related conditions associated with high lipid levels.
