Abstract: The effects of Stachytarpheta cayennensis tea on the weight and plasma total cholesterol concentration of normal rabbits were investigated. Daily oral administration (2 mL kg - 1) of the tea led to significant decreases (p<0.05) in the weight and plasma total cholesterol concentrations of the rabbits. These results support the use of S. cayennensis tea in the management of hypertension and obesity.
