Investigation of Anti-Oxidant and Anti-Hyperlipidemic Activity of Some Plants

Abstract

We evaluated the anti-Hyperlipidemic and Anti-Oxidant activity of Some Herbal Plants. We tested the methanol extract of Cymbopogon
flexuosus, Zingiber officinale, and Terminalia arjuna anti-Hyperlipidemic activity against Dexamethasone induced hyperlipidemia in Wistar
rodents, Cymbopogon flexuosus, Zingiber officinale, and Terminalia arjuna has excellent anti-Hyperlipidemic action. We further measured the
Cymbopogon flexuosus, Zingiber officinale, and Terminalia arjuna DPPH assay and Hydrogen Peroxide radical scavenging effect for in
vitro analysis; Methanolic extract shown the potent anti-oxidant (DPPH; IC50= 25 µg/ml, HPSA; IC50= 54 µg/ml) suggesting its potential as a
natural antioxidant. Because of its phytochemical content, Cymbopogon flexuosus, Zingiber officinale, and Terminalia arjuna may have antiHyperlipidemic and antioxidant activities These plants were found to be potent enough to be studied further for its in vivo anti-Hyperlipidemic
and anti-oxidant to perform formulations.
