TLDR
The lines of evidence suggest that the aqueous extracts from the dried calyx of roselle possess both antioxidant effects against LDL oxidation and hypolipidemic effects in vivo, however, its mechanism(s) of action remains to be elucidated.About:

Hibiscus sabdariffa L. - A phytochemical and pharmacological review
TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo studies as well as some clinical trials provide some evidence mostly for phytochemically poorly characterised Hs extracts which showed antibacterial, anti-oxidant, nephro- and hepato-protective, renal/diuretic effect, effects on lipid metabolism (anti-cholesterol), anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive effects among others.

Plant Secondary Metabolites: Occurrence, Structure And Role In The Human Diet
TL;DR: The authors suggest that the use of probiotics and prebiotics to modulate the gut flora composition in old age and the impact of dietary modulation of the gut microflora through dietary means should be considered.
Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn.-An overview
TL;DR: Hibiscus sabdariffa linn is an annual herbaceous shrub, cultivated for its flowers although leaves and seeds have also been used in traditional medicine as discussed by the authors.

Estimation of the Concentration of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Plasma, Without Use of the Preparative Ultracentrifuge
TL;DR: A method for estimating the cholesterol content of the serum low-density lipoprotein fraction (Sf0-20) is presented and comparison of this suggested procedure with the more direct procedure, in which the ultracentrifuge is used, yielded correlation coefficients of .94 to .99.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assay for lipid peroxides in animal tissues by thiobarbituric acid reaction
TL;DR: Using this method, the liped peroxide level in the liver of rats suffering from carbon tetrachloride intoxication was investigated and was in good agreement with previously reported data obtained by measuring diene content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymatic determination of total serum cholesterol.
TL;DR: An enzymatic method is described for determination of total serum cholesterol by use of a single aqueous reagent and has excellent precision.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution and chemical composition of ultracentrifugally separated lipoproteins in human serum
TL;DR: The relatively low density of the lipoproteins was utilized by Lindgren, Elliott, and Gofman to separate them from the other serum proteins by ultracentrifugal flotation, and quantitation was subsequently performed by refractometric methods in the analytical ultracentRifuge.
Journal ArticleDOI
A modification of the Lowry procedure to simplify protein determination in membrane and lipoprotein samples
TL;DR: The original Lowry method of protein determination has been modified by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate in the alkali reagent and an increase in the amount of copper tartrate reagent to be used with membrane and lipoprotein preparations without prior solubilization or lipid extraction.
