Herbal medicines and pharmaceuticals made from plants are becoming increasingly popular in many parts of the world. This is because, in general, people believe that natural remedies are safer than standard manufactured medications. After all, they have fewer or no negative side effects.
One of the plants that have seen extensive usage in folk medicine is the avocado tree, also known as "The Persea Americana". It has been shown that an extract of avocado leaves has anticonvulsant properties, as well as anti-inflammatory and vasorelaxant effects. Additionally, P. Americana leaf extracts have been demonstrated to prevent cholesterol-induced hyperlipidemia in rats (2).

Therefore, this study (4) was done in Nigeria to learn the effects of aqueous AEPA on protein, total cholesterol (T-CHOL), triacylglycerols (TAGs), and hematological parameters were assessed in Wistar male albino rats that had been exposed to carbon CCl4.
