Abstract
The present study aims at evaluation mechanisms of natural plant eleutheroside extracts for ameliorating the blood lipid and blood glucose. The eleutherosides derived from the roots of eleutheroccus senticosus and is purported to behave as an "adaptogen", we assessed effects of eleutheroside at doses of 3.6, 7.2 and 14.4 g/(kg day) on SD rats injected daily with D-gal (50 mg/(kg day)). Eleutheroside-fed rats showed higher the level HDL-C, decrease the level of HCT, TG, TC, LDL-C compared with D-gal-treated rats. We further examined the mechanisms involved in effects of 3.63.6, 7.2 and 14.4 g/(kg day) on rat blood. In summary, eleutheroside significantly increased Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity and decreased the Malondialdehyde (MDA) level.
