Abutilon Indicum belongs to the family Malvaceae .Qualitative phytochemical analysis of Abutilon indicum leaves showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids and steroids in 50 % hydro ethanolic extract prepared by hot and cold maceration process and flavonoids are present in the aqueous extract. 50 % hydro ethanolic extract prepared by hot maceration process of Abutilon indicum leaves was shown to have sufficient phenol content in the range of 44.71 mg/g of Gallic acid and it showed flavonol content of 128.83 mg/g of quercetin. Abutilon indicum was found to be effective in significantly reducing both TG and TC levels after 12 days of pretreatment with 50 5 Hydro ethanolic extract prepared by hot maceration process at a dose of 200 and 400 mg/kg. Abutilon indicum significantly reduced TG levels by 16.85 % and 20.64 % respectively. And decreased TC level by 37.39 % and 43.8 % respectively. LDL levels were also found to be decreased by 31.55 % and 39.83 % respectively. VLDL levels were also significantly decreased by 16.85 and 20.63 %. No significant changes were seen on HDL cholesterol. All these decreased levels were statistically significant ( P<0.001) and indicates anti hyperlipidemic activity of Abutilon Indicum leaves.
