Blood of patients examined in the first week pascaperlakuan, 4 weeks, and 2 weeks before the treatment ends. The total treatment period of 7 weeks. Blood of patients examined with automated chemistry analyzer machine.
The results showed high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL)-cholesterol, patients in group I increased 14.1% after 4 weeks of treatment.
