Rats  were divided into two main group, the first group negative control group (5 rats) fed  on basal diet for all experimental period as control negative group. And  obese hypercholestrolemic  rats (245–250g) were divided into 4 subgroups (5 per each): subgroup 1 served as positive control group, subgroup 2, 3, 4 and 5 were fedbasal diet and given orally one receives a daily gavage of garlic aqueous extract , garlic vinegar, apple vinegar ,balsamic vinegar(7mL/kg/d) for 30 days. After the end of  experiment  period, blood samples were collected for used to the biochemical analysis as kidney functions, lipids profileand antioxidant status. The results indicated that treatments with garlic vinegar, garlic aqueous extract, apple vinegar,balsamic vinegar significantly(p≤0.05) improved lipid profile andkidney and liver functions compared to positive control group.Inconclusion: Garlic aqueous extract and garlic, apple, balsamic vinegars had improved lipid profile and atherogenic indexes , kidney and liver functions and antioxidant status in hypercholesterolemicobese rats
