Methods: After establishment of animal mode with high blood lipid using Wister rats, high, medium and low doses of the tomato skin extracts distributed in oil were gastric ally administrated to the rats. The blood CHOL, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were assessed every 10 days. Results: In high blood lipid animal (male rat) mode, 30-day gastric administration of the extracts is able to reduce the levels of blood CHOL, TG and LDL-C, while no significant effect on HDL-C level.
