ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the antioxidant, antihyperlipidemic, antihypercholesterolemic, and hepatoprotective properties of Acacia nilotica (A. nilotica) pod extracts in male albino Wistar rats.MethodsA. nilotica pod extracts (ANPE) were prepared using ethanol, methanol, acetone, and distilled water. Antioxidant properties were evaluated by determining total phenolic content (TPC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) activity. ANPE wer
