Study on Efficiency of Regulating Blood Lipids of Blackcurrant Seed Oil in Hyperlipidemia Rats

Jing Wang

Abstract

Objective: To study the influence of blackcurrant seed oil on serum lipid level in hyperlipidemia rats. Methods: Forty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups randomly: control group, hyperlipidemia model group, high-dose group and low- dose group. The concentration of serum triglyceride(TG), cholesterol(TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and arterioscle- rosis indes(AI) were assayed after 21 days. Results: The levels of TG, TC and AI in high-dose group and low-dose group were obviously lower than that in hyperlipidemia model group, while the level of HDL-C in high-dose group and low-dose groups was much higher than that in hyperlipidemia model group. Conclusion: The results showed that blackcurrant seed oil had the function of reducing serum lipid level obviously.
