SUMMARYBauhinia variegata Linn (Mountain Ebony) is a medium-sized, deciduous tree, found throughout India, ascending to an altitude of 1,300 m in the Himalayas. The plant is widely used by the tribals throughout India and popular in various indigenous systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Unani and Homoeopathy. Following the various traditional claims on utility of this plant in curing number of diseases, considerable efforts have been made by researchers to verify its utility through pharmacological screenings. The notable biological activities reported are anthelmintic, antiulcer, antitumour, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antigoitrogenic, hepatoprotective and haemagglutination. Industrially, the plant is widely used for the manufacture of wood wool board, production of tannin, oil, gum and fibre. The plant is also utilized for afforestation to conserve the nature. In this article, a comprehensive account of the cultivation, microscopy, phytochemical investigation, traditional and biologically evaluated medicinal uses of B variegata is presented.

Background:The Mimosa pudica, is well known across the world for its different pharmacological activities such as anti diabetic, antitoxin,antioxidant and wound healing activities.In the present study we investigated the hypolipidemic effects of ethanolic extract of leaves of Mimosa pudica linn against dyslipidemia following carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) induced hepatic injury in albino rats. Methods: Liver damage was induced in rats by treating them with CCl 4 (1ml/kg /bw), administered subcutaneously, on alternate days for one week. Several biochemical parameters like triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) were taken into consideration to assess dyslipidemic changes .The effects of ethanolic extract of Mimosa pudica (at a dose of 400mg/kg) was observed on the following parameters. In addition to biochemical parameters liver weight and histological sections were also studied. The statistical analysis of data was done by using one way ANOVA followed by Dunnet's t test. Results: Administration of ethanolic extract of Mimosa pudica significantly prevented carbon tetrachloride induced elevation of serum TG, TC, VLDL and LDL levels. Histological examination of the liver section revealed improved hepatic architecture, after administration of Mimosa pudica. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates hypolipidemic effect of Mimosa pudica in dyslipidemia following carbon tetrachloride induced liver injury.
