PLANT}, volume={9}, url={https://eujournal.org/index.php/esj/article/view/2118}, DOI={10.19044/esj.2013.v9n33p%p}, abstractNote={Compounds of pharmacological interest (alkaloids) were extracted and the results revealed that the extract consist of three alkaloid compounds (A, B & C). Compound (A) has been isolated from Anethum graveolens L. aerial parts by column chromatography using C6H6 : Ethanol (9:1) solvent as eluent. It was found that simultaneous administration of alkaloid compound A (500 mg/kg/day) and cholesterol for 4 weeks, significantly (P<0.01) prevented the rise in serum TC, TG, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, atherogenic index and significantly (P<0.01) increased TAC and HDL-cholesterol as compared to cholesterol fed control rabbits. Thus, the results indicate antioxidant and hypolipidemic effect of alkaloid compound A of Anethum graveolens L. aerial parts.}, number={33}, journal={European Scientific Journal, ESJ}, author={Al–Fartosy, Adnan J.M. and Zearah, Sameerah Ahmed and Alwan, Nawras A.}, year={2013}, month={Nov.} }
