ROLE OF ALLIUM HOOKERI AGAINST HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HYPERLIPIDAEMIA CONDITIONS IN WISTER RATS
Khumanthem Deepak Singha* and Dipak Chetiab
ABSTRACT
In an effort to search for complementary and alternative remedies, this study was designed to investigate the antihypertensive and hyperlipidaemia effect of Allium hookeri (AH) leaf extract. Evaluation of antihypertensive and hypolipidemic activity of Allium hookeri leaves were carried out in Wister rats. Hypertension was induced by 2-Kidney-1-Clip (2K1C) surgical model and initial blood pressure was measured after 7 days. After treatment of 14 days consecutively, final reading was measured. Hypolipidemic activity was studied after inducing by Triton WR 1339 for a period of 30 days. Lipid profiles (Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Low Density Lipoprotein and High Density Lipoprotein) were estimated on 0, 10, 20 and 30 days. In vivo antioxidant status and histopathology studies of the liver were studied. A significant (p<0.01) reduction in blood pressure was found in the hypertensive animals after 14 days treatment of AH. After 30 days of Keywords: 2K1C, blood pressure, heart rate, lipid profiles, Allium hookeri. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
