HYPOLIPIDEMIC ACTIVITY OF ALOE VERA IN HYPERLIPIDEMIC RATS
The hypolipidemic activity of Aloe vera (Family: Liliaceae) extract has been studied in two models of hyperlipidemia in rats. In an acute model, hyperlipidemia was induced by injecting a single dose of triton WR-1339 (400mg/kg, b.w.) intraperitoneally in rats. Feeding with Aloe vera extract at the dose of 500 mg/ kg, b.w. exerted a significant lipid-lowering effect as assessed by the reversal of p...
