Normal volunteers were randomly received Sheep ghee or sunflower oil, and before and after the study lipid profile and HS-CRP were measured.
During outpatient clinic visits, potentially eligible individuals were screened for enrollment according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were randomly allocated into the treatment and control groups via the blocked randomization method. The control group received a normal diet for eight weeks with 10 g of sunflower oil. In the treatment group, sunflower oil was replaced with 10 g of sheep ghee. 50 patients in each group were enrollment. Patients' information, including demographic data and the serum levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), LDL, HDL, triglyceride (TG), and hs-CRP, were recorded in datasheets twice: once before treatment with sheep ghee and once eight weeks later.
