Abstract
To investigate the effect of Pu-erh tea on liver pathology of high-fat rats,SD rats were divided into eight groups,namly control group,hyperlipidemia model group,and six dose groups including the low,medium and high doses groups of fermented Pu-erh tea and unfermented Pu-erh tea(0.5 g/kg,1.5 g/kg,3.0 g/kg).After administered by gavage for 30 d,the rats were sacrificed and the liver pathology was observed.Simultaneously,the level of TC,TG and HDL-C in blood were determined.The result showed that after given the Pu-erh tea,hepatic steatosis caused by high-fat diet in rats had been improved correspondingly in a dose-dependent manner and the blood-fat of rats with hyperlipidemia was reduced remarkably.
