Effect of Different Extracts of on Blood Lipid, Lipid Peroxidation and Liver Function of Hyperlipidemia Rats
Objective: To explore the effect of different extracts from Amygdalus mongolica on blood lipid
lipid peroxidation and liver function of hyperlipidemia rats. Method: A. mongolica kernel was extracted by ethyl acetate
n-butanol and water in sequence. A total of 60 male Wistar rats were selected and randomly divided into 6 groups: normal control group (10) and model control groups (50)
including positive drug group (Xuezhikang
0.061 7 g·kg-1)
ethyl acetate extract group (2.0 g·kg-1)
n-butanol extract group (2.0 g·kg-1) and water extract group (2.0 g·kg-1). The hyperlipidemia model was induced by method of high lipid feed. After seven weeks of intervention of with drugs
total cholesterol(TC)
triglyceride(TG)
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)
aspartate transaminase(AST)
alanine aminotransferase(ALT)
malondialdehyde(MDA)
superoxide dismutase(SOD)
peroxidase(POD)
catalase(CAT)
glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) in serum were tested
and the atherosclerosis index(AI) and the ratio of LDL-C/HDL-C were analysedcalculated. Result: As compared with the normal group
the model group showed significantly higher TC
LDL-C
AST
ALT
AI
LDL-C/HDL-C and MDA (P<0.01). Compared with the high-lipid model group
the n-butanol extract group revealed significantly lower TC
LDL-C
AST
AI
LDL-C/HDL-C
MDA(P<0.05) but remarkably higher SOD
POD
GSH-Px(P<0.05). POD was significantly higher (P<0.05) in water extracts group. Conclusion: n-butanol extracts of A. mongolica could significantly decrease the blood lipid level
resist lipid peroxidation level in rats
reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
protect liver function of rats. n-butanol extracts of A. mongolica could also decrease oxidative stress and lipid peroxidase accumulation in liver
which may be one of effective mechanisms to reduce blood lipid.
