Objective:To observe the influence of Typha angustifolia L.on hyperlipidemia

atherosclerosis(AS).Methods:The atherosclerotic quails's model was established by feeding fat food(basic food 85%

lard 14%

Cholestrol 1%).Low-dose group

mid-dose group and high-dose group of Typha angustifolia L.were 4g

2g

1g·kg(-1)·d(-1) ig.respectively and to be continued eight weeks

and feed fat food at the same time.Total cholesterol(TC)

triglyceride(TG)

endothelin(ET)

nitric oxide(NO)

determined after four weeks and eight weeks.Result:The value of TC

TG showed significantly difference(P<0.05) by high-dose

mid-dose

low-dose comparing with model group at the 4th week.The value of TC

TG showed significantly lowering total cholesterol(P<0.01) by high-dose

mid-dose

low-dose comparing with model group at the 8th week.However ET and NO didn't show significant difference.Conclusion:Typha angustifolial L.can lower blood lipid and inhitit AS to some degree.
