- Abstract:
- ... Achyranthes aspera L. (Amaranthaceae) is used traditionally in Indian system of medicine as diuretic, astringent, purgative, anticancer, dropsy, piles, and skin eruptions. To explore anti-atherosclerotic potential of crude saponins and ethanol extract of A. aspera seeds husk on hyperlipidemic diet induced rats model was used to increase the lipid profile. After 2 weeks, all the animals showed symp ...
