Background: The present study was endeavored to validate the antihyperlipidemic potential of Salvia bucharica (Lamiaceae) in lipofundin induced hyperlipidemia in rabbits and fructose treated hyperlipidemic rats.
Method: Extract of Salvia bucharica and atorvastation (10 mg/kg) were given to the animals through oral route. At the end of study period, blood samples were taken for determination of lipid profile. Furthermore, thoracic aorta and liver were studied for vasorexalation and histopathological changes respectively.
Results: Salvia bucharica has shown dose dependent antihyperlipidemic activity with a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in the levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and triglycerides in both models. In addition, Studies performed on the isolated thoracic aorta and histolopathological studies on liver demonstrated that Salvia bucharica has endothelial dependent vasoprotective and hepatoprotective activity respectively as compared to fructose fed rats. The toxicity studies of Salvia bucharica revealed that plant extract is safer for oral use.
Conclusion Hence, it was suggested that Salvia bucharica has the therapeutic potential against dyslipidemia and vascular dysfunction.
