ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of potassium adaptation on lipid profile of wistar rats. Ten wistar rats were used for the study and divided into 2 groups (control and test). The test group were administered potassium chloride (KCl)(0.75%) in their drinking water for a period of five weeks while the control received normal water. At the end of the five weeks, the rats were anesthetized and sacrificed. Blood sample was collected and analyzed. The results were analyzed using graph pad prism version 10.0 and a p value of P < 0.005 was considered significant. The result are presented as mean ± SEM. The result showed that there was no statistical significant difference in HDL, LDL, and Triglyceride level compared with control. However, there was a significant increase in the total cholesterol level of the test group compared with control. Conclusively, potassium adaptation altered only the total cholesterol level.
