Abstract:
Atherosclerosis is one of the most common diseases that threaten human health. How to effectively inhibit atherosclerosis， extend the survival time and improve the quality of life has become one of the most urgent issues to be solved clinically. Mongolian medicine， with a long history of managing human diseases， is an important part in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and has distinct ethnic characteristics. It has been gradually formed and developed by absorbing some theories of Tibetan medicine， Indian medicine and relevant knowledge of TCM. Mongolian medicine has many advantages， including but not limited to， low toxicity and diverse structure. However， the action mechanism of Mongolian medicine in preventing and managing atherosclerosis has yet to be fully clarified， which has been a major obstacle for further promotion and application of Mongolian medicine in clinical settings. In this review， the up-to-date research findings on Mongolian medicine were collected， analyzed and summarized， and the anti-atherogenic action mechanism of Mongolian medicine were reviewed from the aspects of anti-inflammatory， lipid-lowering， anti-oxidative stress， vascular endothelial cell protection， and inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration.
