Abstract:
Having fed the rats with high-lipid food added with amorphophallue konjac powder 3.3-6.2g/Kg/d for thirty days,we observed an effective prevention of the significant incerese in serum and liver cholesterol and triglyceride,and a boost of serum HDL-C,with effects more obvious than that of clofibrate.A significant decreas in serum and liver cholesterol and triglyceride could also occur after feeding amorphophallue konjac powder 2.6-5.og/Kg/d to the rats with hyperlipidemia for ten days,the effect being more obvious than that of clofibrate.The result of the pathological examination of the liver also showed that amorphophallue konjac powder had an obvious hypolipidemic effect.
