The modulating effects of seed oil (CPSO) on dyslipidemia and neuronal dysfunction in tramadol toxicity were studied. Fifty-six albino rats were divided into seven groups of eight rats each after a 2-week acclimatization period. All animals had unrestricted access to water and feed, and treatments were administered orally once daily for 42 days.
