Abstract

Tilianin, purified from acrial part of Agastache rugosa Kuntze, reduces progression and may induce some regression of aortic foam cell formation in low density lipoprotein receptor deficient mice (LDLR -/- mice). We investigated whether tilianin can prevent high fat diet-induced atherosclerosis. Twenty-six male mice were divided into three groups.(omitted)
