Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of Persicae Semen herbal-acupuncture at GB34(Yangneungcheon) on hyperlipidemia of rats caused by high-fat diet. Methods: The author performed several experiments to measure the DPPH radical scavenging activity of PS-HAS,to analyze various components and enzymes in serum and liver, and to observe the histological changes of liver and aorta. Results: 1. Persicae Semen herbal-acupuncture solution increased the DPPH radical scavenging activity in rat's liver cells. 2. In the Persicae Semen herbal-acupuncture group, compared with control group, the level of total cholesterol in serum and the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol decreased significantly. 3. In the Persicae Semen herbal-acupuncture group, compared with the control group, the level of glutathione in liver cells increased significantly. 4. In the Persicae Semen herbal-acupuncture group, compared with the control group, the pathological changes in liver and aorta were reduced. Conclusion: The above results suggest that Persicae Semen herbal-acupuncture at GB34 has good effects on preventing and treating hyperlipidemia.
