Abstract
Introduction
Natural products derived from plants kingdom play a vital part in preventing or treating various diseases or disorders in humans. Hyperlipidemia is one of the major pathological factors of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, Tecoma stans belonging to the family ?Bignoniaceae, was found to possess many pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti cancer activities along with CNS depressant activities.
Materials and Methods
The present study is an attempt to investigate its antihyperlipidemic activity by in vivo animal model. Hyperlipidemia model can be induced by administered with dexamethasone in rats with significant increase in serum cholesterol and triglyceride (TG) levels along with increase in the atherogenic index.
Results
The ethanolic extract of flowers of T.stans (200 and 400 mg/kg) treatment has shown significant inhibition against dexamethasone-induced hyperlipidemia in rats by maintaining the serum levels of cholesterol, TGs and near to the normal levels.
