ABSTRACT
Effect of high doses of cobra venom (150 micrograms/120 +/- 20 g body weight) and viper venom (300 micrograms/120 +/- 20 g body weight) on total lipid, triglyceride, phospholipid, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of brain of albino rats was studied. Total lipid (TL) triglyceride (TG) and phospholipid (PL) are decreased in both viper and cobra venom treated groups while cholesterol (C), and LDL-C are increased in both the groups in relation to controlled ones. HDL-C content was almost unaltered. Decrease in triglyceride and phospholipid may be due to effect of lipases and phospholipases whereas increased cholesterol and LDL-C may be attributed to lysis of cell membrane.
