Abstract
Effects of mahwang(Ephedrae herba) extract on plasma lipid composition, GOT, GPT activity and blood cell composition were investigated in rats. Concentrations of FFA was not significantly different in all treatment groups. Concentrations of triglyceride and total cholesterol in plasma were decreased in mahwang(Ephedrae herba) extract groups. However concentrations of HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol showed no significant difference in all treatment groups. GOT activities were increased in mahwang(Ephedrae herba) extract 300mg/kg group. However the values of GPT showed no significant difference in all treatment groups. Counts of RBC were increased in mahwang(Ephedrae herba) extract 300mg/kg group. Counts of WBC showed no significant difference in all treatment groups. In WBC composition, neutrophils were increased, but other cells were not affected by mahwang extract treatment.
