Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the pharmacological effects of glasswort. SD rats drunk experimental water (added to glass wort extracts) for 4 weeks. Weight gain resulted in reduced by administration of glasswort extracts compared with control group(p < 0.05). Total protein and albumin contents in serum of SD rats for 4 weeks did not show significantly difference by administration of glasswort extracts compared with control group. GOT was $126.7{\sim}134.1\;U/L$ and GPT was $41.1{\sim}46.7\;U/L$ by administration of glasswort extracts in SD rats for 4 weeks. Total and LDL cholesterol contents in serum of SD rats significantly decreased by administration of glasswort extracts compared with control group(p < 0.05) HDl cholesterol contents in serum of SD rats was significantly increased by administration of glasswort extracts compared with control group(p < 0.05). Total lipid and triglyceride contents in serum of SD rats was significantly decreased by administration of glasswort extracts compared with control group (p < 0.05). The overall results suggest that the administration of glasswort extracts can not only prevent a disease of arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver but also inhibit of weight gain.
