Online published on 23 December, 2019. Abstract Objective Nuts offer many health benefits, this study conducted to estimate the effect of different dose and period of Ukrainian walnut consumption on lipid profile parameters among healthy young collegian women. subjects of this study were feed on two different dose of walnut including 13 g and 25 g for 10 days to each dose, fasting blood sample had been drawn pre-and post-walnut consuming, entirely period of this experiment last for 20 days, tested parameters included Total cholesterol (TCH), high density Lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglyceride (TG). Body mass index (BMI) was conducted for study population pre and post consumption of walnut. highly significant decrease (p< 0.001) was detected in the serum total cholesterol, Triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol level in the women when eat 25g of walnut for 10 days interval pre-consumption of walnut. Highly significant increase (p<0.01, p<0.05, p<0.01) respectively was found in the total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and Triglyceride after the same subjects were had 13 g of walnut for the other 10 days. HDL-cholesterol level was non-significantly (p>0.05) difference neither eat 25g nor 13 g of walnut consumption against pre-take walnut. Top Keywords Lipid profile, collegian women, Ukrainian walnut.
