RESUMO
Objectives: To evaluate the influence of Ganoderma lucidum on cholesterol drunk - induced hyperlipidemia rats. Methods: Rats were received cholesterol in the oral daily during 8 consecutive weeks in order to hyperlipidemia rats. From 5th week, extract of Ganoderma lucidum (GL) at the doses of 2g/kg, 4g/kg administered orally was investigated in cholesterol drunk - induced hyperlipidemia rats. Results: GL significantly decreased plasma triglycerid, total cholesterol, LDL - C, but increased HDL - C. The effect of GL on plasma lipid level at the oral doses of 2g/kg, 4g/kg was equal to each other and to Lopid (gemfibrozil) at the dose of 140mg/kg. Conclusions: GL have a hypolipidemia effect on rats.

On white rats, high doses of paracetanol (2g/kg of body mass) and carbonetetrachloride (CCl4 –1.4ml/kg body mass administrated orally) increased dramatically serum transaminase AST and ALT, reduced liver capacity of cholesterol and total protein synthetizations. Granulous degeneration, lipid degeneration and necrosis focus were observed pathohistologically. Linh chi mushroom fluid extracts with the dose of 4g/kg of body mass reversed these biochemical indicators and restored nearly normally the damaged tissues. Similar results were obtained with the oral dose of 25mg Silimarin brand name preparation/kg body mass.
