ABSTRACT
The effect of lipid lowering agents of plant origin garlic oil and guggulipid on the levels of catecholamine and dopamine ß-hydroxylase activity of normal and cholesterol fed rabbit tissues has been studied. The catecholamine levels and enzyme activity were found to be decreased in cholesterol (500 mg/kg body wt) fed animals. The feeding of garlic oil (5 mg/kg body wt) and guggulipid (100 mg/kg body wt) an exudate of Commiphora mukul, to normal rabbits caused significant increase in the dopamine-ß-hydroxylase activity and catecholamine levels, while the feed helped the hypercholesterolemic rabbits to recover the decrease in catecholamine biosynthesis.
