    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2012) PATEL JAYESHKUMAR BACHUBHAI; Dr. A. M. Thaker
    Atorvastatin, a second-generation potent inhibitor of 3-Hydroxy 3- Methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase is indicated for the treatment of dyslipidemia. The present study was conducted to evaluate the toxicity potential of Atorvastatin alone and in combination with Verapamil in hyperlipidemic rats. The study was conducted on 48 male Wistar rats dividing them in various groups having six rats in each group. Group I served as vehicle control and received 1.0 ml of 0.5% sodium bicarbonate solution orally for 28 days of dosing period. Group II served as hyperlipidemic control. Atorvastatin was given orally at dose rate of 0.5, 2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg body weight in poloxamer-407 induced hyperlipidemic rats of group III, IV and V respectively. Poloxamer-407 induced hyperlipidemic rats of group VI, VII and VIII received Atorvastatin at dose rate of 0.5, 2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg body weight respectively and additionally received Verapamil orally at dose rate of 10 mg/kg body weight. Animals were observed daily for clinical signs and mortality
