Preliminary study on activities of flavonoides extracted from flowers of Lonicera japonica Thunb. on some index of lipidemia

Studying effect of total flavonoid extracts from Lonicera japonica Thunb on some index of lipidemia. Rats were drunk cholesterol at a dose of 0.5g/kg/24hours for 6 consecutive weeks in order to cause hyperlipidemia. The result showed that: flavonoid extracted from Lonicera japonica Thunb at a dose of 0.45g/kg and 0.9g/kg decreased plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-C and increased HDL-C in white rats drunk cholesterol in vitro. The effects of flavonoid at the dose of 0.45g/kg and 0.90g/kg on some index of lipidemia were the same. There was no differences in increasing body weight of rats in all studied rat groups

Influence of Morinda citrifolia Fruit on ?-Radiation Induced Immunosuppressive Animals

The scientific name of Morinda citrifolia is Morinda citrifolia L., with its family Rubiaceae. Morinda citrifolia was used by the people for hypotensive drugs, medications to enhance the resistance of the body. Many studies have been proved the effects on immuno-stimulation of total root of Morinda citrifolia in vitro, in vivo and in clinic for a long time. Fruit extract of Morinda citrifolia given to mice after being treated with 100rad x 6 days at oral daily dose of 6 gram/kg bogy weight in 9 consecutive days increased the relative weights of spleen and thymus, total leukocyte count, number of lymphocytes, natural killers and monocytes, rates of immune rosette forming and platelet forming cells and dermoreaction with OA antigen as compared with the control group
