چکیده مقاله:

The present study was aimed at evaluating the lipid lowering activity of lercanidipine, a calcium channel blocker, in standard diet induced hyperlipidemic rats. Hyperlipidemic rats were divided into different groups and were treated with daily oral dose of lercanidipine and atorvastatin for 7 days. On 8 th day, blood samples were collected and analyzed for serum lipid levels using commercial kits. The rats were fed with standard cholesterol diet to induce hyperlipidemia. The effect of lercanidipine on lipid profiles in hyperlipidemic rats was estimated. Like atorvastatin, a standard lipid lowering drug, lercanidipine reduced the cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoprotein levels. These findings suggest that anti-hyperlipidemic activity of lercanidipine, which may be used for the treatment of various cardiovascular diseases associated with hyperlipidemia.

Lipid Lowering Activity of Anthocephalus indicus Root in Hyperlipidemic Rats

The lipid lowering activity of Anthocephalus indicus (family Rubiaceae; Hindi name Kadamba) root extract has been studied in triton WR-1339 induced hyperlipidemia in rats. In this model, feeding with root extract (500 mg kg(-1) b.w.) lowered plasma lipids and reactivated post-heparin lipolytic activity in hyperlipidemic rats. Furthermore, the root extract (50-500 μM) inhibited the generation of...

Lipid-lowering effect of artichoke on liver phosphatidate phosphohydrolase and plasma lipids in hyperlipidemic rats

Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) is full of natural antioxidants and has a lipid-lowering effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of artichoke on the liver phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP), plasma lipid levels, plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), and plasma antioxidant in hyperlipidemic rats. Male rats were fed by standard pellet diet (Group 1), standard diet supplemented with 1...

Mechanism study of chitosan on lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemic rats.

It has been reported that plasma and liver cholesterol concentrations decrease when animals are fed with chitosan, but the mechanism is unclear. Four wk old male SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats were fed a commercial rat diet (cholesterol-free diet, negative control, NC), cholesterol-enriched diet containing 5% of chitosan (CH) or cholesterol-enriched diet containing 5% of cellulose (CE) and 5% of lard...

Plasma lipid secretion and clearance in hyperlipidemic JCR:LA-corpulent rats.

The JCR:LA-corpulent rat is an obese, hyperlipidemic, hyperinsulinemic strain that is atherosclerosis-prone and develops myocardial lesions. The hyperlipidemia is due to elevated plasma levels of a large relatively triglyceride-rich very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). Both corpulent and lean male and female rats were studied. Postheparin lipid clearance and apparent hepatic secretion rate afte...
