Influence of multicomponent plant remedy on the course of experimental dyslipo-proteinemia

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to assess the antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant effect of multicomponent plant remedy "Atherophyte" in hyperlipidtmic rats. The serum levels of TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C were measured to determine deleterious metabolic effects. The level of MDA was measured as indicator of free radical activity and catalase activity - as indicator of antioxidant effect of "Atherophyte". After "Atherophyte" administration, the levels of TC, TG, LDL-C and VLDL-C were reduced, the level of HDL-C increased, the level of MDA decreased and CAT activity increased. Thus, the polyphytoextract under study exerts antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant properties.
