Zebrafish were fed with HCD (final 4%, w\/w) or HCD infused with policosanol (PCO, final 1%, w\/w) or SCEP (final 1%, w\/w). Post 14-week consumption, blood and organs were harvested and processed for various biochemical, histological, and immunohistochemical (IHC) examinations, and fluorescent staining. Following 14-week consumption, the PCO-supplemented group exhibited higher zebrafish survival probability than the SCEP-supplemented group. Both PCO and SCEP substantially impacted the HCD-disrupted plasma lipid profile; however, PCO supplementation exhibited a significantly better effect than SCEP. Similarly, PCO supplementation significantly improved the blood glucose level, hepatic function biomarkers, and oxidative-antioxidant balance disturbed by HCD. PCO supplementation displayed a substantial inhibitory effect against HCD-induced fatty liver changes, nephromegaly, and cellular senescence. Likewise, PCO effectively protected the brain against HCD-induced apoptosis and accumulation of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE); in contrast, SCEP supplementation showed almost no effect in reducing such adverse changes. The comparative findings between PCO and SCEP highlight the protective effects of PCO against HCD-induced oxidative stress and dyslipidemia via the enhancement of antioxidant markers, leading to protection of the liver, kidney, and brain, while SCEP failed to achieve similar outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cimb47050354","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,13]],"date-time":"2025-05-13T06:40:23Z","timestamp":1747118423000},"page":"354","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Effect of 14-Week Supplementation of Highly Purified Policosanol (Raydel\u00ae) and a Sugar Cane Extract Powder (SCEP) on Dyslipidemia and Oxidative Variables in Hyperlipidemic Zebrafish: Insight into Liver, Kidney, and Brain Health"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"47","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1198-4140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyung-Hyun","family":"Cho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Raydel Research Institute, Medical Innovation Complex, Daegu 41061, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashutosh","family":"Bahuguna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Raydel Research Institute, Medical Innovation Complex, Daegu 41061, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sang Hyuk","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Raydel Research Institute, Medical Innovation Complex, Daegu 41061, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji-Eun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Raydel Research Institute, Medical Innovation Complex, Daegu 41061, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yunki","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Raydel Research Institute, Medical Innovation Complex, Daegu 41061, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheolmin","family":"Jeon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Raydel Research Institute, Medical Innovation Complex, Daegu 41061, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102870","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dsx.2023.102870","article-title":"Prevalence of dyslipidemias in the Middle East region: A systematic review & meta-analysis study","volume":"17","author":"Kargar","year":"2023","journal-title":"Diabetes Metab.
