ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of Taizhian treatment on macrophages expression in the plaque of aotic intima and blood lipid levels in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Methods Sixteen male New Zealand rabbits were given 1%high-cholesterol diet. After 8 weeks,these macrophages expression in aotic intima was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with normal rabbits,Taizhian treatment decreased the expression of macrophages in aortic intima by 25%and reduced serum levels of low density lipoprotein-cholesterol by 21%in hypercholesterolemic rabbits(both P<0.05). Conclusions Taizhian may significantly decrease blood lipid level and reduce atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic rabbits.
