ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect of Longman Ampelopsis grossedentata on the level of serum lipid. Methods:The exper-imental rats were given high-fat diet during the experiment. The rats were randomly divided into the model group, high dose group (37. 80 g·kg-1), medium dose group (12. 60 g·kg-1), low dose group (6. 30 g·kg-1) and lipid-lowering drug group (180 mg· kg-1 ) . All the groups were administrated continuously for 30 days, and the effect on body weight, serum TC, TG and HDL-C were measured. Results:Compared with that of the model group, the increase of body weight in the other groups was not significant ( P>0. 05), and all the rats had no obvious poisoning symptom. TC and TG were higher after the high-fat diet administration than those be-fore the experiment in the model group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). After the 30-day treatment, the levels of TC and TG in the high-dose group were significantly decreased compared with those of the model group (P<0. 05). Conclu-sion:Longman Ampelopsis grossedentata shows assistant therapeutic effect on serum lipid.
