Abstract
Objectives : By examining the effects of Jwa Kum-Whan composed of Coptidis Rhizoma and Evodiae Fructus by the ratio of 6:1 the effects of Soo Ryeon-Whan and composed of Coptidis Rhizoma and Evodiae Fructus by the ratio of 1:1 on hyperlipidemia, the present study attempted to reveal the change of effects based on the ratio of combination. Methods : Jwa Kum-Whan and Soo Ryeon-Whan were injected to rats suffered from induced hyperlipidemia, and then its influence on lipid. During the cultivation of hepatocytes, Jwa Kum-Whan and Soo Ryeon-Whan were added to culture media, and the expression of the enzymes relevant to fat metabolism of hepatocytes was examined. Results : 1. Jwa Kum-Whan significantly decreased total cholesterol(Tc), triglyceride(TG), and LDL-cholesterol(LDLc) of rats suffering from hyperlipidemia induced by high cholesterol diet. Soo Ryeon-Whan decreased LDLc, but had no significant on Tc and TG. 2. Jwa Kum-Whan increased the expression of cholesterol esterase, LDL-receptor, diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), acylCoA-cholesterol-acyltransferase (ACAT), peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma
