Daucus carota (carrot) seed is used traditionally in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, in which oxidative stress and hyperlipidemia are associated complications. The study evaluated the antioxidant and anti-hyperlipidemic effects of aqueous seed extract of Daucus carota (AQEDCS) in triton X100-induced hyperlipidemic mice. The in vitro antioxidant activities of the extract (0.21.0 mg/ml) was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, total antioxidant capacity, nitric oxide and ferric ion scavenging. In vivo antioxidant and anti-hyperlipidemic properties of the extract were evaluated using triton X100 induced oxidative stress and hyperlipidemia in mice. AQEDCS contains alkaloids, tannins, phenols and produced significant anti-oxidant effects in vitro compared to vitamin C. AQEDCS significantly (p
