Abstract
This study was done to determine the effects of Sansevieria libericaleaf extract on lipid profile in wistar rats feds on high cholesterol and normal control. The administration of cholesterol at a dose of 0.50mg per 0.2ml 3times daily for 14days led to hypercholesterolaemia in rats. However, these rats were treated with extract of Sansevieria liberica at doses of 50mg and 100mg/kg. The treatment with Sansevieria liberica caused a significant decrease in cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein – cholesterol when compared with the control at P<0.05. Also, it was observed that high density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly increased when compared with the control. This result suggests that the leaf extract of Sansevieria liberica could probably serve as a potential natural therapy for treatment of hyperlipidemia.
