Other biological parameters among them the lipid profile are also modified. The administration of a traditional plant's extract, Hypericum perforatum, enriched in flavonoids (FEHP), well known for its anti-depressive and skin healing capacities seems to influence the modifications of the lipids metabolism probably by creating a better tolerance of the stress situation. © 2010 Springer Verlag.
