To evaluate hypolipidemic activity of crude extracts such as Petroleum ether, Chloroform, Ethanol and P. water extract of Viscum articulatum in albino mice and validate its traditional claim. Lipid profile such as total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein in blood serum of albino mice was analyzed using Autopak Kit. Change in body weight of albino mice during treatment was observed statistically. Chloroform Extract of Viscum articulatum (CEVA) at a dose of 200 mg/kg significantly reduces mean body weight, total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein level in blood serum of albino mice and increases high density lipoprotein level in blood serum of albino mice as compared to control. It was observed that chloroform extract of Viscum articulatum (CEVA) found more significant to exert the hypolipidemic effect.
