Effect of Phyllanthus niruri Extract on Low Density Lipoprotein of Dyslipidemic White Rats (Rattus norvegicus)

Abstract: Background: Dyslipidemia is a lipid metabolism disorder characterized by elevated levels of total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Meniran contains tannins, saponins, alkaloids, rutin and quercetin, which have hypolipidemia effect. Objective: This study aimed to observe the effect of meniran extract on the Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) in Wistar rats, compared with simvastatin. Methods: Thirty-five Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) wer… Show more

“…Also, hyperlipidemic rats that received Psyllium husk ethanolic extract exhibited diminished lipogram and augmented HDL-C in parallel to the hyperlipidemic group (52). Other studies exhibited that flavonoids in P. niruri have a protective effect on LDL cholesterol to not be oxidized (10,67). These findings are similar to the former studies (37,44).…”

“…Phyllanthus niruri (PN), a typical member of family Euphorbiaceae, has curative properties due to the presence of bioactive phytochemicals (alkaloids, terpenoids, lignans, polyphenols, tannins, coumarins and saponins). Saponins and alkaloids are active components in the extract of PN that can lower cholesterol and fat levels (10). Moreover, several evidence suggest that the extracts of PN possess a prevalent sort of pharmacological deeds like antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, lipid lowering action, anti-diabetic, and anti-fungal action (11).…”
