| Popis: | 91 四 英文摘要 Cardiovascular disease is a common phenomenon when the diet contains high cholesterol. In this study the antioxidative and hypolipidemic effects of Chinese herb and anti-oxidant agent were investigated in hypercholesterolemic rabbit. The normal group was fed regular chow and the cholesterol group was fed a chow containing 0.5 % cholesterol. The Chinese herb group were fed 1 % herbal essence and were fed 0.1% anti-oxidant agent in antioxidant group. The total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerol and lucigenic-CL were decreased in the Chinese herb and anti-oxidant agent when compared with the cholesterol group. The intimal surface of the thoratic aorta was covered with atherosclerotic lesions in the control group, but reduced in the Chinese herb and antioxidant group. Therefore, Chinese herb may be useful to prevent cardiovascular disease in which atherosclerosis plays a major role. |
