Abstract

In athreogenic diet induced hyperlipedimia model, the rats receiving treatments with the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the root of Bauhinia variegata shows significant reduction in Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, Very low density lipoprotein and elevated in High density lipoprotein cholesterol. The ethanolic extract of B. variegata was found to posses significant hypolipedemic activity. The results also suggest that B. variegata root extract at 200 and 400mg/kg b. wt. concentration is an excellent lipid lowering agent.
