Effect of Dihydrocholesterol and ^-Sitosterol on Cholesterol Atherosclerosis in Rabbits
نویسندگان
چکیده
While dihydrocholesterol lowered total plasma cholesterol in the rabbit, it did not promote the regression of either the aorta lipid fractions or plaque areas in atherosclerotic animals. A comparative study of the toxicities of /3-sitosterol and dihydrocholesterol disclosed that dihydrocholesterol, fed for a 7 month period, resulted in aorta plaque formation and caused the development of liver cirrhosis. On the other hand, /3-sitosterol produced no toxic effects.

متن کاملEffects of beta-sitosterol on regression of cholesterol atherosclerosis in rabbits.
A MONG the various substances tested on / ^ experimental animals, /3-sitosterol was -L-^found to be one of the most effective in minimizing hypercholesterolemia and in retarding atherosclerotic plaque formation. Very few studies have been done on regression of established hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. The substances used in regression studies were choline, potassium iodide, and hepa...
متن کاملEffect of aerobic moderate exercise intensity on plasma and aorta homocysteine and 15-F21-isoprostane concentrations in high cholesterol diet-induced atherosclerosis.
Few studies have investigated the effect of exercise on homocysteine and 15-F21-isoprostane in animal models. The present study was designed to examine the effect of long-term exercise and/ or high cholesterol diet on MDA, 15-F21-isoprostane and total homocysteine in the aorta and plasma of rabbits. Methods: 56 male rabbits were divided into four groups: normal diet (control), normal diet wi...
متن کاملMorphopathological study of effect of Licorice root extract on atherosclerosis process in coronary artery of male fed rabbit
Coronary artery disease due to atherosclerosis is one of the highest killers today. Cholesterol level reduction by diet or medication would lead to either halting, or decreasing atherosclerosis. We examined whether Licorice root extract can halt atherosclerosis. Fifty male rabbits randomly were divided in five groups. They had gone under normal and high cholesterol (HC) diet for six weeks. One ...
