Inhibitory effects of the Pseudostellaria heterohpylla white tea on hyperlipemia
A preventive hyperlipemia animal model was applied to investigate the effect of the Pseudostellaria heterohpylla white tea on hyperlipemia. The results were as follows. The Pseudostellaria heterohpylla white tea effectively reduced the weight(P 0.05), TC, TG, and apo B and increased HDL-C and apo A-I in the high cholesterol mice at a very significant level(P 0.01). The Pseudostellaria heterohpylla white tea significantly decreased MDA in liver(P 0.01), but showed no significant effect on liver index. It indicates that the Pseudostellaria heterohpylla white tea could obviously inhibit the rising of blood lipid; therefore it can effectively control the hyperlipemia.
