Objectives: The purpose of this study is to observe clinically the anti-cholesterol effects on the prescription of red onion.
Materials and methods: The subject of study were middle-aged people. We measured clinically physiological index, body composition, radial arterial pulse wave after 2 month by taking medicine (the prescription of red onion).
Results: The study results were as follows. 1. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure of subjects were decreased significantly in the statistics. 2. Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein were decreased significantly after 2 month taking medicine. Triglyceride was decreased after 2 month but there was no significant difference and high density lipoprotein was increased after 2 month but there was no significant difference. 3. Waist-Hip ratio, body mass index and body fat percentage were decreased significantly in the statistics, after 2 month taking medicine. 4. HR was increased significantly in the statistics after 2 month but ESV and ECO were decreased signficantly in the statistics after 2 month taking medicine. 5. Pulse wave energy was increased after 2 month but there was no significant difference in the statistics. 6. RAI was decreased significantly in the statistics after 2 month taking medicine.
Conclusion: The prescription of purple onion was showed significant change in physiological index, character of body composition, blood circulation index, pulse wave energy and RAI. Therefore it was showed the effect of anti-cholesterol blood circulation clinically.
