Lipid Lowering Activity ofAnthocephalus indicusRoot in Hyperlipidemic Rats

Abstract: The lipid lowering activity of Anthocephalus indicus (family Rubiaceae; Hindi name Kadamba) root extract has been studied in triton WR-1339 induced hyperlipidemia in rats. In this model, feeding with root extract (500 mg kg−1 b.w.) lowered plasma lipids and reactivated post-heparin lipolytic activity in hyperlipidemic rats. Furthermore, the root extract (50–500 μM) inhibited the generation of superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals, in both enzymic and non-enzymic systems, in vitro. The results of the present … Show more

“…This result may be due to there are fiber and other compounds as photochemical in defatted soy flour and dried mushroom which had hypercholesterolemic lowering effect in serum lipids. All these results consent with those of EL-Bastawesy and Hareedy (2004) and Kumar, et al (2009) who indicated that hepatic and serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and total lipids levels of rats fed on a high fat diet containing cholesterol and/or bile salts were significantly increased in hypercholesterolemic comparing to control animals receiving vehicle or normal diet. With revere to mushroom the obtained results are in agreement with results observed by Medany (2004) who reported that feeding hypercho-lesterolemic rats with 3 or 5% dried mushroom effectively lower total cholesterol serum after one week.…”
