Abstract
Objective To observe the mechanism of herbal cake separated moxibustion to hyperlipemia (HLP) and atherosclerosis (AS) rabbits on cell and molecular level. Method 75 rabbits were divided into 5 groups randomly:blank group, model group of HLP and AS, direct moxibustion group, herbal cake separated moxibustion group, herb group, 15 rabbits each group. Model rabbits of HLP and AS were built by immunity injury method. The expression of VCAM-1 mRNA and E-sel mRNA were determined with the method of RT-PCR. Results The expression of E-sel mRNA in herbal cake separated moxibustion group, direct moxibustion group and herb group are obviously decreased (P 0.05 or P 0.01). Conclusion Herbal cake separated moxibustion has protective effect on the arotic endothelial cells of HLP and AS rabbits.
