Healthy rabbits were made diabetic by injecting 150mg/kg body weight of Alloxan, in normal saline solution. intravenously in the marginal ear vein for seven days. The rabbits with serum glucose levels greater than 200mg/dl were considered as diabetic and used in this study. High dose aspirin (120mg/kg) p.o. showed maximum decrease in serum triglyceride level (42.07%), serum total cholesterol level (19.36%), and serum LDL level (6.18%). Glibenclamide showed decrease in fasting blood glucose level 56.31% as compared to high dose aspirin (23.91%). In the light of these results, it is suggested that such study should be carried out in human beings to make use of agents having S inhibitory activity of kappa Kinase Beta (IKKß) pathway, which will provide a novel approach for treatment of diabetes- associated hyperlipidaemia.
