Hypolipidemic principles of Cicer arietinum: biochanin-A and formononetin.
Two isoflavones, biochanin-A and formononetin isolated from gram Cicer arietinum, have been shown to possess hypolipidemic properties for Triton WR-1339 induced hyperlipidemia in male albino rats, when administered as a crude extract or as individual compounds.
