Bark Extracts of Ceylon Cinnamon Possess Antilipidemic Activities and Bind Bile Acids In Vitro

Figure 1

HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity of ethanol and DCM : M bark extracts of Ceylon cinnamon. Data represented as mean ± SEM (); mean % inhibition values of ethanol and DCM : M bark extracts superscripted by different letters at each concentration were significantly different at . Mean IC₅₀ values of ethanol bark, DCM : M, and pravastatin were , , and  μg/mL, respectively. Ethanol bark, DCM : M bark, and pravastatin , 0.99, and 0.99, respectively. DCM : M: dichloromethane : methanol.
