AIM:To investigate the effect of tribu saponin from Tribulus terrestris(STT) on the lipoprotein lipase(LPL) and hepatic lipase(HL) activity in lipid metabolic disorder mice.METHODS:Mice being fed lipodiet were taken in STT through the experiment with Fenofibrate as positive control drug.Four weeks later,the levels of LPL in the plasma,the adipose tissue,liver tissue,muscular tissue and the levels HL activity in the plasma,liver tissue were estimated with LPL and HL Kit.RESULTS:HL activity in liver tissue in lipid metabolic disorder group was significantly lower than that in STT,Fenonbrate and normal group(P0.05).In STT group,the LPL activity in adipose was lower(P
