Alleviation of Hypercholesterolemia Through Newly Developed Cookies Supplementedwithpumpkin (Cucurbita Pepo L.) Seeds and Walnuts (Juglans Regia L.) Among Arthrosclerosispatients.

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study is being conducted at DHQ Hospital, Jhang, under the supervision of the University of Lahore. The purpose of the trial is to find out whether specially prepared cookies made with pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo L.) and walnuts (Juglans regia L.) can help improve cholesterol levels in patients with atherosclerosis. High cholesterol is one of the major causes of heart disease and stroke. Although medicines are commonly prescribed, adding natural foods with proven health benefits may help patients manage cholesterol in a safer and more affordable way. Pumpkin seeds contain healthy fats, antioxidants, and phytosterols, while walnuts provide omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and vitamins. Together, they may improve heart health by lowering harmful cholesterol (LDL) and increasing good cholesterol (HDL). In this study, patients will be divided into two groups: Treatment group: Will receive one 100 g cookie made with pumpkin seeds and walnuts every day, in addition to their usual care. Control group: Will receive usual care without the supplemented cookies. Blood samples will be taken at the start, at 3 weeks, and at 6 weeks to measure cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL levels. Researchers will follow up with participants regularly to ensure safety and compliance. The study will help determine whether these cookies can be recommended as a natural, food-based approach to reducing cholesterol and preventing complications of heart disease.
