ABSTRACT
In this study, anti-hyperlipidemic activity of polyherbal formulation BA019 was assessed by two animal models, Triton induced hyperlipidaemia and fructose diet induced hyperelipidaemia in wisar rats. In both animal models, BA019 produced a significant reduction in serum concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides. The effect of 200 mg/kg of BA019 was significant when compared to vehicle treated group. The effect of 400mg/kg of BA019 was nearly equal to standard drug Atrovastatin (10mg/kg, p.o). These results showed that polyherbal formulation BA019 possessed anti-hyperlipidemic activity.
