      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention Group: A total of 25 patients with dyslipidemia will be selected by convenience sampling method based on inclusion criteria and assigned into this group using random digits table. Saffron petal tablets will be made by the Faculty of Pharmacy, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, at a dose of 30 mg/kg body weight. Tablets will be given blindly to the patients so that they will take a pill daily after a main meal for 28 days. Before and 28 days after the intervention, patient blood samples will be taken to measure the related variables. Intervention 2: Control Group: A total of 25 patients with dyslipidemia will be selected by convenience sampling method based on inclusion criteria and  assigned into this group using random digits table. Placebo tablets will be made by the Faculty of Pharmacy, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, at a dose of 30 mg/kg body weight. Tablets will be given blindly to the patients so that they will take a pill daily after a main meal for 28 days. Before and 28 days after the intervention, patient blood samples will be taken to measure the related variables.</i_freetext>
