Chinese Journal of Marine Drugs 2000;0(06):-
With the doses of Spirulina compound tablet (FST) 1.5g?kg 1 ,3g?kg 1 by ig administration to normal rats,alloxan (ALX) induced diabetic rats and hyperlipidemic model rats respectively for 14 days ,then the fast blood glucose(FBG) and the serum lipids were detected.The results showed that FST could decrease the FBG and the serum TC,TG,LDL C,increase HDL C in normal and in diabetic rats.(But FST 1.5g?kg 1 had no significant effect on TG,HDL C in normal rats).In addition,it was found that FST could remarkably decrease the level of serum TC,TG, and LDL C,as well as increase HDL C in hyperlipidemic model rats.It is suggested that FST not only significantly decrease the FBG and the lipids contents both in normal and in diabetic rats,but also remarkably decrease the serum lipids level in hyperlipidemic model rats.

With the dose of D-galactose 80mg/kg by sc administration to the female NIH mice for 6 weeks,the sub-acute aging model was established. In order to observe the effect of the polysaccharide (PSP) on anti-aging, the mice were received PSP 200mg/kg^ 100mg/kg respectively by ig administration at the same time of injection D-galactose. It was found that PSP could remarkably antagonise the effect of D-galactose on the mice. The results showed that PSP could significantly(1)decrease the content of MDA in heart,liver and brain of the mice;(2)increase the SOD activity of RBCJiver and brain in the mice;(3)increase the GSH-Px activity and GSH content of the blood and liver of the mice; (4)inhibit the MAO-B activity of liver and brain in the mice;(5)increase the hydroxyproline content of dermal tissue in aging model mice. In short,it is suggested that PSP could obviously improve the aging effect of D-galactose on the mice.
3.Effect of Spirulina Compound Tablet on Serum Lipids in Hyperlipidemic Mice
Chinese Journal of Modern Applied Pharmacy 2001;18(2):92-94
To study the effect of Spirulina Com pound Tablet(FST) on the level of serum lipids in hyperlipidemic mice.METH ODS:The experimental hyperlipidemic mice were divided into four groups.Amo ng them,two groups were treated with FST 1.5g/kg,3g/kg respectively by ig admini stration,and one group was given lipanthyl 0.05g/kg by ig administration as the positive drug control,another group was received physiological saline by ig admi nistration as the hyperlipidemic control.The treatment were consecutively carrie d out for 14 days.Then the serum lipids of each group were determined with autom atic biochemistry analysor.RESULTS:Compared with the hyperlipidemic control group,it was found that FST could significantly decrease the level of to tal serum cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),and low density lipoprotein-choleste rol(LDL-C),as well as remarkably increase the content of serum high density lip oprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C) and the value of HDL-C/TC in the hyperlipidemic m ice.Furthermore,the results also showed that FST could obviously raise the conce ntration of the serum apolipoproteinAI(apoAI) and reduce the concentration of ap olipoproteinB(apoB)(Whereas FST 1.5g/kg had no significant effect on apoB).CONCLUSION:FST could remarkably decrease the content of serum lipids and regulate the apolipoprotein in the hyperlipidemic mice.
