Abstract
Flavonoids from Cocos nucifera, Myristica fragrance, Saraka asoka and Garci nia cambogia exerted hypolipidaemic activity in rats. Lipid lowering activi ty was maximum in rats administered flavonoids (10 mg/kg BW/day) from Garci nia cambogia. A dose response study revealed biphasic activity. Higher dose s were less effective in reducing lipid levels in serum and tissues, althou gh devoid of toxic effects. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
