Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark used in Indian traditional medicine to treat hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease and metabolic syndromeObjective The present study was to evaluate the antihyperlipidemic effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark against Triton induced hyperlipidemia in Wistar albino ratsMaterials and Methods Thirty rats 200230gm were randomly divided into five groups of six rats in each received standard diet and water daily Normal control 5 CMC positive control Triton 400mgkg standard control atorvastatin 40mgkg ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Cinnamon groups CZEE and CZAE 500 mgkg of each were assigned and treated respectively All the groups except normal control were administered triton to induce hyperlipidemia Both the standard and plant extracts were administered for seven days orally At the end of the study fasting blood was collected and serum was separated out to estimate the lipid profile and various markers of coronary heart diseases ResultsPost supplementation of atorvastatin CZEE and CZAE significantly PConclusion From the observations it can be concluded that supplementation of Cinnamon extracts can significantly decline the lipid abnormalities and ameliorate the markers of coronary heart disease and provides the scientific evidence for their traditional claims Further molecular studies are warranted to evaluate the causative molecule for antihyperlipidemic effectKeywords Hyperlipidemia Cardiovascular diseases Triton Atorvastatin and Cinnamon extracts
