170EVALUATION OF ANTI HYPERLIPIDEMIC ACTIVITY IN RODENTS USING LEAF EXTRATS OF CITHAREXYLUM SERRATUMThe hypolipidemic effect of various extracts of citharexylum serratum was investigated in rats suffering from high cholesterol, diet induced hyperlipidemia and the phytochemicals in the extracts were analyzed. The high-cholesterol diet caused a significant increase in total lipids, total cholesterol (TC), total triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the atherogenic index, whereas the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly decreased. The animals were divided into 6 groups where 2 used as test, 1 for standard, 1 for control, 1 for diet induced hyperlipidemic and 1 for the activity of physical exercise. The groups with anti hyperlipidemic medication and without medication by exposing to physical exercise are compared in one aspect and however the group treated with methanolic extract showed better activity than standard and other groups.saidoguparthi64@gmail.comResearch722017Anti hyperlipidemic,total cholesterol,VLDL,Atherogenic index,HDLD.Narasimha Rao,D.Eswar Tony,A.Narendra Babu,Rama Rao NadendlaDepartment of Pharmacology Chalapathi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Lam, Guntur,Department of Pharmacology Chalapathi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Lam, Guntur,Department of Pharmacology Chalapathi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Lam, Guntur,Department of Pharmacology Chalapathi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Lam, Guntur
