EFFECT OF WHEAT GRASS (TRITIUM AESTIVUM LINN) ON LIPID PROFILE IN ALBINO RATS INDUCED WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARACTION.

Dr Annapoorna Sahoo, Dr Pravin Dhone

Abstract


Context: Obesity had emerged important risk factors associated with various disease. Prevalent of
obesity is on the rise
Aims: to study the effect of wheat grass (Tritium aestivum Linn) on lipid prole by observing its effect on Isoproterenol induced
myocardial infarction in rats.
Settings and Design: This was a longitudinal study done on thirty healthy albino rats
Methods and Material: Thirty albino rats were grouped into ve groups of six rats in each, and housed in separate cages groupwise.
All groups except control received Isoproterenol. In addition to Isoproterenol, two groups were given wheat grass at
different dosage and one group received Carvediliol. Serum lipid prole was assessed.
Statistical analysis used: ANOVA test and post hoc Dunnett test using SPSS version 16, unpaired t testResults: Signicant
reduction in HDL and increse in LDL, cholesterol and triglyceride was seen..
Conclusions: Triticum aestivum has a favourable effect on lipid prole. Wheatgrass extract can be a good alternative or
primary therapy in treating dyslipidemia.
