| Abstract: | The three fractions diethyl ether, ethyl acetate and
ethanol. of T. arjuna exerted
hypolipidemic and antioxidative effects at two different doses levels of 175
and 350 mg/kg body weight in Poloxamer (PX)-407 induced hyperlipidemic albino
Wistar rats. The hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects of T. arjuna fractions
were noticed as EtOH>diethyl ether>ethyl acetate. The results suggest
that ethanolic fraction of T. arjuna
possesses the potent properties of being antioxidant and hypolipidemic than
other fractions. In turn, it has therapeutic potential for the prevention of coronary
arterial disease. |
