Abstract: Background and objective These studies were considered the joint effect of exercise and consumption: on of water extract of cumin on plasma lipids in healthy male rats. The objective of this research is considering of the effect of exercise on plasma lipids and lipoproteins in hyper cholesterolemic male rats after consuming water extract of cumin. Methods and materials The experiencial study was accomplished on 60 hyper cholesterolemic sori rats that divided to 4 groups including dissolver , exercise, cumin and exercise +cumin. exercise program was done for 6 weeks(5 days in a week ,each time for 40 minutes with 18m/min speed). Water extract of cumin was prescribed amounting To 0.8 mg as solution in 0.4 ml distilled water at the some time that it used in cumin and exercise + cumin groups in way. Triglyceride (TG) , total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C and LDL-C and body weight were measured before and at the end of the course. data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA statistical method. Findings The result show that 6weeks exercise joint with consumption of water extract of cumin cause meaningful decreasing of TC density(pretest 297.7±37.08, post-test 146.1±30.8, p=0.019) and LDL-C(pretest 151.8±14.4, post-test 0.12±8.7, p=0.001). on the other hand the consumption of water extract of cumin leaded to meaningful increasing of HDL-C(pretest 75.9±12.1, post-test 119.9±17.9, p=0.003). Also the result of this research showed that there was not any meaningful change in body weight in exercise +cumin group. Conclusion The result show that carrying out of this program effected plasma cholesterol and lipoproteins meaningfully and so it may be useful for preventing heart diseases.
