Abstract: |
Objective: To explore the antiatherogenic mechanism of the action of Xueguantong at molecular level.Methods: After being established by feeding with high fat diet for 12 weeks, the quail atherosis models were given Xueguantong for 30 days. Then, their plasma endothelin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) were determined with radioimmunoassay (RIA) and the effects of Xueguantong on plasma endothelin and CGRP in the models were observed.Results: The plasma endothelin increased and CGRP decreased during quail atherosis formation. The plasma endothelin was decreased (P < 0.05) and CGRP increased (P < 0.05) by Xueguantong.Conclusion: One of antiatherogenic mechanisms of Xueguantong was decreasing endothelin and increasing CGRP. |
