为了探讨食用植物对高脂血症及动脉粥样硬化的预防作用,选用轮叶党参(Codonopsis Lanceolata)水提取液对实验性大鼠高脂血症进行预防实验.结果显示,给予高脂饲料的同时按4g/kg和8g/kg给予轮叶党参水提液的大鼠,其血清胆固醇、甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇及动脉硬化指数明显低于只给高脂饲料的大鼠(P<0.05或P<0.01),高密度脂蛋白的含量明显高于只给高脂饲料的大鼠.说明轮叶党参有明显的调理血脂蛋白的作用,可预防血脂升高. In order to investigate the preventive effect of edible plants on hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis, Codonopsis Lanceolata aqueous extracts were used to prevent hyperlipidemia in experimental rats. The results showed that high fat diets were given. At the same time, 4 g/kg and 8 g/kg rats were given water extract of Codonopsis pilosula at the same time, serum cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and arteriosclerosis index were significantly lower than rats given high-fat diet (P <0.05 or P<0.01), the content of high-density lipoprotein was significantly higher than that of rats fed with high-fat diet only. It was shown that Codonopsis pilosula has obvious conditioning effect on blood lipids and can prevent the increase of blood lipids.
