**10. Reversal of lipid profile alterations**

One of the complications in diabetes is dyslipidemia, where the lipid profile is disturbed. It is usually presented with elevated levels of total cholesterol TC, triacylglycerol TAG, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol LDLc and a reduction of high density lipoprotein cholesterol HDLc [51]. These alterations could predispose to developing

atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Reversal of these alterations in alloxandiabetic rats suggests its anti-dyslipidemic capability [29]. Alkhalidy et al. observed that untreated diabetic mice had lower total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and LDLcholesterol levels when compared to non-diabetic mice [45]. Kaempferol treatment reversed these changes to the levels similar to those seen in non-diabetic mice.
