Hyperlipidemia is a condition of abnormally high levels of lipoproteins in the bloodstream. It is also one of the members of a cluster of metabolic syndrome and a risk factor of cardiovascular disease.
There are 2 types of cholesterol
* Low-density lipoproteins produced by the liver or from dietary sources plays an essential role in the production of bile for the nutrient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, vitamins, steroid hormone. The waxy substance is also needed to build strong cell membranes.
* High-density lipoproteins also produced by the liver and from a dietary source with the main function in transporting the low-density lipoproteins back to the liver for future use.
The healthy ration (LDL/ HDL) of blood cholesterol is any number which is less than 4.
According to the statistics provided by the CDC, in the US, 71 million American adults (33.5%) have high low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad,” cholesterol and only 1 out of every 3 adults with high LDL cholesterol has the condition under control.
Sadly, less than half of adults with high LDL cholesterol get treatment.
Untreated high LDL has been found to induce many health problems, including heart attack or stroke.
During the experiment, the VLE treatment group normalized parameters of lipid metabolism. In other words, bilberry extract inhibited all side effects of rats injected by STZ and HFD induced abnormally high blood cholesterol.
Dr. Sidorova Y, the lead scientist, after taking other factors into accounts wrote, "The set of results that were obtained in the present study reveals lipid-lowering and antioxidant action related to the administration of VLE and PCE in Wistar rats with diabetes, induced by STZ".
In order to reveal more information about Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) hyperlipidemic effect, researchers investigated the effects of bilberry against DM-induced by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (120 mg kg(-1) body weight (BW)).
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, and psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
Researchers on finding a natural ingredient for the treatment of hyperlipidemia comparable to those conventional medicines with no side effects compared ed the anti-high blood cholesterol effects of Vaccinium myrtillus L. leaf (, bilberry, VLE) and Phaseolus vulgaris L. seed coat (PCE) plant extracts.
The study included male Wistar rats with STZ and HFD-induced diabetes fed with or without VLE or PCE for 50 days.

The study included male Wistar rats with STZ and HFD-induced diabetes fed with or without VLE or PCE for 50 days.
According to the tested assays, there was no significant difference from the same parameters in the intact control group compared to those rats STZ and HFD-induced diabetes fed with VLE.
The efficacy of VLE inhibited the hyperlipidemic activity was attributed by the enhancing production of antioxidants against lipid oxidation.
Injection of bilberry not only exerted a significant reduction of glucose compared with the diabetic control but also normalized the blood cholesterol in all aspects, including the total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), triglycerides (TG) and C-reactive protein (CRP).
In other words, dietary supplementation with bilberry fruits may protect against impaired lipid metabolism in DM.
Taken altogether, bilberry may be considered a functioning remedy for the treatment of hyperlipidemia with no side effects, pending to the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.
