Fruits of Arctium lappa L. (Compositae), which has been used as the antiinflammatory, detoxifying and diuretic agents in the folk remedies, was examined on the in vitro oxidation of human low density lipoprotein (LDL). Several lines of evidence indicate that oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) may promote atherogenesis. Hence. The role of antioxidants in the prevention of LDL oxidation needs to be determined. The activity of fractions of Arctii Fructus treated with oxidized LDL which was incubated with
