Objective:To explore the effect of danxiongfang on reducing serum lipid in experimental hyperlipidemic rat model induced by high-fat diet.Methods: The rats were fed with high-fat diet for 4 weeks to establish the hyperlipidemic model
then lovastatin
cholestyramine
danxiongfang high
medium
and low doses were given to the rats orally for 4 weeks.The serum TG
TC
HDL-C
LDL-C
ALT
ALb were detected at the end of 4 weeks.The pathological changes of liver
heart
stomach tissues stained with HE were observed under light microscope.Results: The rats developed hyperlipidemia with high serum lipid levels
serum ALT and ALb concentration also increased significantly.Each drug showed significant inhibition for the increases in serum lipid
ALT
and serum ALb.Histopathological examination of liver
heart and stomach showed that pathologic injuries were ameliorated by each drugs.Conclusion: Danxiongfang showed powerful lipid regulating and liver protective effect.
