This study was carried out on the action of Euphorbia hirtabarkethanolic extracts, a known anti-hyperlipidemic drug, Simvostatin (10 mg/kg body wt.), was taken as a standard drug. The statistical parameters of mean± S.E were employed for the calculation of one way analysis of variance test (ANOVA) and Dunnet’s test for many comparison’s P < 0.05 were considered as significant. The studies were shown. There was a significant (P<0.01) reduction in serum levels in lipid profile experiments. It has reported a significant lower total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipopreotein (VLDL) and an increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL).The study confirmed that ethanolic extract of Euphorbia hirta bark having significant anti-hyperlipidemic action proving a potential herbal medicine as an alternative to currenttreatment of hyperlipidemia.
