This study was attempted to investigate the effect of Composite Preparation (Sam Whang Sasim-Tang: SWST, Whang Ryun Haedok-Tang: WRHT) on the activities of GOT and GPT, the content of total lipids, triglyceride, total cholesterol. Phospholipid and ${\beta}-lipoprotein$ in the serum, and the change ratio of body and liver weight in the experimentally induced hyperlipemic rats, making use of the extract 150, 200, 300 and 500 mg/kg p.o. Significant test was performed by comparision with the values of corresponding experimentally hyperlipemic rats. The activities of S-GPT was significantly decreased in all dose of SWST and WRHT respectively. The activities of S-GPT was significantly decreased in dose of SWST 500 mg/kg and in all dose of WRHT respectively. The content of total lipids, triglyceride, total cholesterol and phospholipids were significantly decreased in all dose of two the extract. The rate of decrease on total lipids and triglyceride were remarkable in dose of SWST 300, 500 mg/kg and WRHT 200, 500 mg/kg, and then the content of total cholesterol was more remarkable in dose SWST 300, 500 mg/kg, and WRHT 150, 300 mg/kg, and the content of phospholipids was more remarkable in dose of the extract 150, 200 and 300 mg/kg. The content of ${\beta}-lipoprotein$ was significantly decreased in dose of WRHT 150, 200 and in all dose of SWST. Increase ratio of the body and liver weight were significantly decreased in dose of two the extract 300, 500 mg/kg respectively.

This study was attempted to investigate the effects of "Angelicae gigantis Radix extract" (AG.EX.) on the activities of GOT and GPT, the contents of total lipid, triglyceride, total cholesterol, phospholipid and ${\beta}-lipoprotein$ in serum, and the weight change ratio of body, liver and spleen in the experimentally induced hyperlipemic rats by administering the extract of 300 and 500 mg/kg p.o.. Significant test was performed by comparision with the biochemical values between control group and experimentally hyperlipemic rats. In the activities of s-GOT and s-GPT inhibition effects were significantly appeared in all dose of AG.EX. (especially more excellent in ethanol extract) and Angelicae acutilobae Radix extract (AA.EX.) as compared with the control group. The content of total lipid was remarkably decreased in all sample group when compared with the control group, and AA.EX. showed more excellent decreasing effect than AG.EX. The contents of triglyceride and total cholesterol were significantly lowered in all sample group, and more significantly decreased in water extract of AG.EX. and ethanol extract of AA.EX. The content of phospholipid was significantly decreased in all sample group and AG.EX. was more significantly decreased than AA.EX. The increasing rate of body weight in all sample groups except AA.EX. 500 mg/kg was increased more than control group and more significantly remarkable in dose of 300 mg/kg than 500 mg/kg. The increasing rate of liver weight in all sample groups was increased more than control group, and AG.EX. was more increased than AA.EX.

This Study was attempted to investigate the effect of Allium cepa L. (onion) on the activities of GOT and GPT, the levels total lipids, triglyceride, total cholesterol, phospholipid and ${\beta}-lipoprotein$ in the serum and the increase ratio of body and liver weight in the experimentally induced hyperlipemic rats. The activities of S-GOT and S-GPT were significantly decreased in dose of onion juice 3 ml and 5 ml/head as compared to the high lipid-diet control group. The levels of total lipids. Triglyceride, total cholesterol and phospholipids were significantly decreased in dose of onion juice 3 ml and 5 ml/head as compared to the control group, respectively. However, the level of ${\beta}-lipoprotein$ was significantly decreased in dose of onion juice 3 ml/head. The levels of triglyceride and total cholesterol in the liver were significanatly decreased in dose of onion juice 3 ml/head. Increase ratio of the body and liver weight were significantly decreased in dose of onion juice 3 ml/head. Anti-fatigue activity of onion juice were studied in mice using the swimming performance method. The potencies of anti-fatigue acti-vities was significantly found in 1.2 ml/head. p.o. of onion juice. The methanol extract and juice extract of onion was significantly found to have an antioxidative activity on the air oxidation of linoleic acid as compared to the 3-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$.
