Title: Effects of Xuezhikang on blood lipid and interleukin-6 in obese rats
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effects of Xuezhikang on blood lipid and interleukin-6(IL-6) in obese rats.Methods Thirty male rats were divided into three groups: normal group,high-fat group and hight-fat+Xuezhikang group randomly,and they were obtained a standard diet,high-fat diet and hight-fat+Xuezhikang diet respectively,for 12 weeks.The serum levels of blood lipid and IL-6 are increased in high fat diet induced obese rats when compared with the others groups.Then the levels of serum TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C and IL-6 in three groups were determined before and after treatment.Then analysis the correlation between them.Results The levels of serum TG,TC,LDL-C and IL-6 in obese rats were all higher than control rats(P0.01),and the IL-6 levels correlated significantly with the TC and LDL levels(γ=0.72,P0.01).Xuezhikang could effectivly reduce the levels of blood lipid,IL-6.Conclusion It demonstrates that Xuezhikang could effectivly reduce the levels of blood lipid,IL-6 in obese rats.
