Abstract :

Antihyperlipidaemic activities of ethanolic extracts of Eclipta alba (EA) and Boerhaavia diffusa (BD) in adult Wistar rats of both sexes, weighing 140-150 g were studied and compared with those of Atorvastatin. Rats were given high fat diet (HFD) for 49 days to produce hyperlipidaemia. Then drugs were given for 45 days without stopping HFD. Rats on atorvastatin (80 mg/kg) showed most significant improvement (55.46, 57.76 and 66.50% decrease in mean total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL respectively; 28.37% increase in mean HDL).
