Abstract

The present investigation was performed to study the effect of Liv. 100, an ayurvedic herbal formulation, on the level of lipids in antabuse-using alcohol dependents. Liv. 100 was given to the patients at the dosage of 35mg/kg body wt for a period of 18 days. Antabuse-treated patients received antabuse at 4mg/kg body wt dosage for a period of 18 days. Fasting blood samples were collected before and after treatment of 18 days and used for the estimation of total lipids, total cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, free fatty acids, free cholesterol, and ester cholesterol. The antabuse-receiving alcohol dependents treated with Liv. 100 showed significant decreases in the levels of total lipids, total cholesterol, triglycerides, free cholesterol, and ester cholesterol when compared with alcohol dependents receiving antabuse alone. The present study suggests the hypolipidemic effect of Liv. 100 in antabuse-using alcohol dependents.
