Dose-dependent effect of Baryta carbonicum and Baryta muriaticum in homœopathic trituration on experimentally induced high serum lipid concentration in chickens^{[ * ]}

Abstract

Concentration of various serum lipids was experimentally increased in chickens. Feeding Baryta carbonicum and Baryta muriaticum resulted in reduction of serum total cholesterol, phospholipid, triglyceride, total lipids and total cholesterol and phospholipid ratio (c/p). Results obtained with various doses of Baryta carbonicum and Baryta muriaticum were compared with a standard hypocholesterolaemic drug, clofibrate.
