ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the influence of Cichorii extract on uric acid and lipid metabolic disorder and discuss the mechanism. Methods Quails were divided randomly into 5 groups by weight:normal group,model group,positive control group and Cichorii extract high and low dosage group,15 quails in each group. The normal group was fed with the common feeder,and the other groups were fed with the yeast powder. Positive control group was given Benzbromarone 20 mg/(kg?d). Cichorii extract high and low dosage group were given Cichorii extract 15,10 g/(kg?d) respectively. Normal and model group were given distilled water. UA,TG,FFA,TC,HDL,LDL level and XOD,ADA,GD activity related to uric acid metabolism were determined after 7 days. Results Compared with normal group,UA,TG,FFA of model group was significantly higher and HDL was significantly lower. Compared with model,Cichorii extract decreased UA,TG,FFA significantly. GD activity in model group increased significantly. Cichorii extract decreased GD activity. There was no significant variance of XOD and ADA activity in each group. Conclusion Cichorii extract had obvious effect in adjusting uric acid and lipid metabolic disorder. The possible mechanism was by decreasing GD activity and decreasing UA,FFA level.
ABSTRACT
s:Objective To study the effect of Cichorii Extract(CE)N2 on quail with hyperuricemia and hypertriglyceridemia.Methods Quail models were established by feeding of yeast.Effect of CE N2 on biochemical parameters such as serum uric acid,triglyceride,nitric oxide(NO),xanthine oxidase(XOD),etc.were observed dynamically.Results As compared with the control group,CE N2 in three different dosages decreased serum uric acid,triglyceride and NO;CE N2 in high and low dosage could also lower the serum activity of XOD.Conclusion CE N2 can lower serum uric acid and triglycercide levels in quails with hyperuricemia and hypertriglyceridemia.
