Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of combination therapy of probucol and atorvastatin on adjusting lipids.Methods 92 spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR) were randomly divided into the group C(control group) fed with normal diet and normal saline(NS),and group M,group A,group P and group P+A all fed with high lipids diet.At the same time,group M was added with NS,group P with probucol(150 mg/kg/day),group A with atorvastatin(10 mg/kg/day),and group P+A with probucol(150 mg/kg/day) plus atorvastatin(10 mg/kg/day).After 8 weeks,all rats were killed.The total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),glutamic-pyruvic transaminase(GPT) and glutamic-oxal(o)acetic transaminase(GOT) were measured respectively before and after experiment.Results The serum levels of TC,LDL-C,HDL-C in every group with high lipids diet were obviously higher than baseline data(P<0.01),but TG level decreased.The serum levels of TC and LDL-C in the group P,group A and group P+A were significantly lower than that in the group M(P<0.01),especially in the group P+A.The serum level of HDL-C in the group P+A was obviously lower than that in the group M and group A(P<0.01).The serum levels of TG in the group P+A and group A were significantly lower than that in the group M(P<0.01),and that in the group P+A was lower than that in the group P(P<0.05).The serum levels of GPT and GOT in every group with high lipids diet(especially in the group M) were higher than ever(P<0.01),and that in the group P+A was obviously lower than that in the group A(P<0.01).Conclusion High lipids diet may due to the disorder of serum lipids and liver dysfunction.Combination therapy of probucol and atorvastatin can strengthen the effects on adjusting lipids,furthermore the effects are stronger than that of monotherapy.Combination therapy may reduce the hepatic damage that high lipids diet duo to,and decrease the hepatic negative effects of atorvastatin.
