ABSTRACT
This article was aimed to observe the preventive effect of diabetes with atherosclerosis (AS) treated with Bie-Jia-Jian Pill (BJJP) on level of blood lipids, endothelin (ET), nitric oxide (NO), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, which were the blank group, model group, low-dose BJJP group, high-dose BJJP group and Xue-zhi-kang (XZK) group, to observe changes on the level of blood lipids, ET-1, NO and MMP-9 within 5 groups after 8-week administration. The results showed that compared with the blank group, the level of the content of NO in the model group was significantly decreased (P< 0.05), the level of ET-1 was significantly increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the high-dose and low-dose BJJP group as well as XZK group can significantly decrease the level of ET-1 (P< 0.05, or P< 0.01), increase content of NO (P< 0.05, or P< 0.01), and decrease the expression of MMP-9 (P< 0.05). It was concluded that the BJJP can regulate blood lipids, protect endothelial cell of blood vessels, stabilize plaques for the anti-AS effect.
