This study was carried out to investigate the hypocholesterolemic and hypoglycemic effect of four cowpea cultivars. Wistar rats were grouped and fed a high fat diet with 20% Bombay (BO), 20% MI 35 (MI), 20% Waruni (WA), 20% Dawala (DA) in comparison with 20% casein (HFD). Serum total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, triacylglyceride and glucose concentrations and serum antioxidant activity were analysed. Serum lipids, glucose concentrations and serum antioxidant activity in WA fed rats were significantly lower (P < 0.05) than HFD. Therefore, raw Waruni cowpea produced significant hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effects in Wistar rats. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.
