Abstract

In experimental diabetes, enzymes of glucose and fatty acid metabolism are markedly altered. A study was undertaken to evaluate the antihyperlipidemic activity of Cassia auriculta flower extract (CFEt), leaf extract (CLEt) and seed extract (CSEt). Oral administration of CFEt (0.45 g/kg), leaf extract (0.45 g/kg) seeds extract CSEt (0.45 g/kg) to streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced diabetic rats for 45 days, significantly reduced the elevated serum very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) – cholesterol levels and significantly increased the serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol. CFEt showed a better effect when compared with CLEt and CSEt. Results of the present study indicate that CFEt, CLEt and CSEt showed antihyperlipidemic effect in addtion to its antidiabetic effect in type 2 diabetic rats.
