Abstract
The aim was to study of the antihyperlipidemic, antioxidative and antiatherogenic activity of Triticum aestivum Linn. in rabbit receiving high fat diet. Twenty rabbits of either sex were taken and divided into four groups five in each as - Normal Control- received normal diet, Hyperlipidemic control- received high fat diet, Test drug group - received high fat diet plus ethanolic extract of Triticum aestivum 500 mg/Kg /day orally and Standard Drug group- received high fat diet plus Atorvastatin 2.1 mg/Kg/day orally for 12 weeks and then animals were sacrificed. Blood sample were collected and lipid profile, catalase, superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde levels were measured. The antiatherogenic effect was examined by histopathology of aorta. Data were statistically analysed by one way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. Triticum aestivum significantly decreased serum lipids towards normal levels. It also increases catalase and superoxide dismutase activity and decreases malondialdehyde level and histopathological examination revealed prevention of atherosclerosis. Triticum aestivum has antihyperlipidemic, antioxidant and anti atherogenic effects.
