Abstract

|
|
This study was designed to investigate the effect of Pueraria radix extract on lipid metabolism in the rats fed high fat diet. Male sprague-dawley rats were given 5% Pueraria radix extract and fed diet containing 20 weight % fat. The results obtained were summarized as follows. Serum ALT and AST activities were reduced by Pueraria radix extract. Levels of total lipid, total cholesterol and triglyceride in the serum were higher in the HF-group than in the control, but showed no significant differences between control and HF-Pue group. Liver total lipid, total cholesterol and triglyceride contents were increased by high fat diet, but were lower in the HF-Pue group than in the HF-group. Fat absorption rate was increased with high fat diet feeding and higher in the HF-Pue group than in the HF-group.
