title: Evaluation of Hypolipidaemic Activity of Capparis decidua.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The effect of various extracts (50% ethanolic) of Capparis decidua on lipid profile of streptozotocin diabetic rats was studied.
  
  
  METHODS
  The extract was administered to the diabetic models for 30days.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The extract produced a significant (p<0.05) dose-dependent decrease in the levels of total cholesterol (TC), Triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), with a significant increase in the level High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The extracts of Capparis decidua prove to have a hypolipidemic potential.
