Antihyperlipidemic Activity Of Polygonum Minus And Elucidation Of Its Mechanism Of Action

Present study aims to evaluate the antihyperlipidemic effect including possible mechanism, antioxidant capacity and toxicities of extract of P. minus leaves. In acute antihyperlipidemic study, the effect of aqueous and methanol extracts of P. minus leaves (1000 mg/kg) were tested on poloxamer-407 in...
