To evaluate the relative efficacy of Gloriosa superba, Valeriana wallichii and Odenlandia corymbosa extracts and atorvastatin in correcting the dyslipidemia induced by feeding high cholesterol diet to rats. Methods: The study was carried out on healthy male adult rats of Wistar strain. Dyslipidemia was induced by feeding them fructose-rich high fat diet (F-HFD). Gloriosa superba extract, Valeriana wallichii extract, Odenlandia corymbosa extract and atorvastatin were given orally for 30 days along with F-HFD to four different groups. Serum lipids and lipoproteins were measured. Results: Feeding F-HFD for 30 days led to dyslipidemia in the form of raised serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDLcholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol and free fatty acids. In the rats fed F-HFD + Valeriana wallichii extract, serum cholesterol, triglycerides and VLDL-cholesterol were significantly lower as compared to rats fed F-HFD alone. No such effect was seen in the rats given F-HFD + Gloriosa superba extract and F-HFD + Oldenlandia corymbosa extract. In the rats fed F-HFD + atorvastatin, serum lipids were significantly lower as compared to rats fed F-HFD alone and the effect was stronger than that of Valeriana wallichii. Conclusion: Valeriana wallichii possesses anti-dyslipidemic activity but is not as effective as atorvastatin.
