Abstract :

Ficus carica Linn the common fig belongs to family Moraceae is a source of energy and nutrition. The ethanolic and hexane extracts of were screened for the antihyperlipidemic activity using; High fat diet induced Hyperlipidemia and Triton X -100 model in Wistar Albino rats. Biochemical parameters such as Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL, Liver Cholesterol, SGOT & SGPT levels were estimated. It was clearly observed that after feeding the animals with High fat diet for one month Hyperlipidemia was induced and the animals gained weight. In both the models the Hexane and ethanolic extract were found to lower the elevated Cholesterol as well as triglyceride levels. The Hexane extract was significant in increasing the HDL ratio as well. The extracts were able to control the elevated Liver lipid levels too. The results clearly indicate the potential capability of Ficus carica Linn fruit extracts to lower elevated Lipid levels.
