ABSTRACT
Objective: The current study was aimed to evaluate the Antihyperlipidemic activity of methanolic extract of Rivea ornata. Method: Plant extract was prepared by using Soxhlet method and the antihyperlipidemic activity was evaluated by using Triton X-100 induced hyperlipidemia in Rats. Result: Treatment with methanolic extract of leaves of Rivea ornata (200 mg/kg) significantly decreased the level of Cholesterol, Triglycerides, VLDL and LDL as compared to hyperlipidemic control. There was significant increase in HDL as compared to control. Conclusion: The methanolic extract of Rivea ornata at a dose of 200mg/kg exhibited significant hypolipidemic activity in Triton X 100 induced hyperlipidemic rats.
