contents were sealed and kept for period of 7 days accompanied by continuous shaking with the shaker. The whole
mixture then went under a coarse filtration by a piece of a clean, white cotton wool.Investigation revealed the
presence of Alkaloid, Tannin, Saponin, Phenol in Methanolic Extract of Tephrosia purpurea while only Phenol
were present in Phenolic Extract of Tephrosia purpurea The results of the study clearly indicate that METP Extract
and PETP Extract at a dose of 500 mg/kg & 400 mg/kg significantly lowered serum lipid levels (P
