Abstract

Saururus chinensis Baill (Saururaceae) is a perennial plant that has been used in the treatment of edema, jaundice and gonorrhea in Korean folk medicine. This study was carried out to investigate the inhibitive effects of Saururus chinensis Baill (SCB) on lipid metabolism in Sprague-DaweIy rat(SD-rat) accutely exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin(TCDD). After 7 days from TCDD(1$\mu$g/kg) injection, SCB(200mg/kg) was administered into rats intraperitoneally for 4 weeks. (omitted)
