been proved to be successful in preventing
fat accumulation both in vitro and in vivo
(25, 26). The present study suggests that
<strong>Garcinia</strong> cambogia on cotreatment with
Indian J Physiol Pharmacol 2001; 45(3)
dexamethasone reduced the significant
alterations in the lipid level therapy
preventing the risk factors associated with
hyperlipidemia.
