Experimental Study on the Effects of Mangumtang and Gamimangumtang on Hyperlipidemia

만금탕(萬金湯) 및 가미만금탕(加味萬金湯)이 고지혈증(高脂血症)에 미치는 영향(影響)

In order to investigate the effects of Mangumtang(MT) and Gamimangumtang(GMT) experimental studies were performed in Ex.1(treated with cholesterol and administration of sample at a time) and Ex.2(administration of sample after the treatment of cholesterol). The results were summerized as follows : 1. The content of Total cholesterol in the serum was not significantly decreased in MT group, whereas in GMT group significantly decreased compared with control group in Ex.1 and all significantly decreased in MT group and GMT group in Ex.2. 2. The content of Triglyseride in the serum was all significantly decreased in MT group and GMT group in all case. 3. The content of Phospholipid in the serum was not significantly decreased in MT group, whereas in GMT group was significantly decreased compared with control group in Ex.1 or Ex.2. 4. The content of Free Fatty Acid in the serum was all significantly decreased in MT group and GMT group in all case. 5. The content of HDL-Cholesterol in the serum was tended to decreased compared with control group but did not show a significance in Ex.1 or Ex.2. 6. The content of LDL-Cholesterol in the serum was not significantly decreased in MT group and GMT group in Ex.1, whereas in Ex.2 not significantly decreased in MT group but significantly decreased in GMT group. According to the above results, it is assumed that Mangumtang and Gamimangumtang have a valid effect on Hyperlipidemia, especially Gamimangumtang have a more valid effect on prevention and cure of Hyperlipidemia.
