To compare the anti-atherosclerotic effects of two different extracts from the leaves of Mallotus furetianus by using rat model of atherosclerosis.
The air-dried powdered Mallotus furetianus leaves were extracted with ethanol and then evaporated. The ethanol extract was experienced Diaion HP-20 CC with a gradient of MeOH and H2O (50:50, 100:0, v/v) and two fractions, Mallotus furetianus A (Mf A) and Mallotus furetianus B (Mf B) were obtained. Rats were divided into control, atherosclerosis and vitamin E, Mf A and Mf B treated groups. Atherosclerotic model was established by administering a loading dose of vitamin D3 and feeding standard diet enriched with 2% cholesterol, 0.5% porcine cholate, 0.2% methimazole, 5% sugar, 10% pork fat. Vitamin E (0.20 g/kg), Mf A (0.053 g/kg), Mf B (0.057 g/kg) (with the potential) were administered to interfere with the development of atherosclerosis. After 9 weeks, rats were sacrificed and the blood lipid as well as composition of bile was examined. In addition, the thoracic aorta was harvested to evaluate histological changes and the intima-media thickness ratio.
Atherosclerosis model was successfully established, administration of vitamin E, Mf A and Mf B increased excretion of total bilirubin in bile, decreased triglyeride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level, enhanced ratio of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol and LDL-C in blood, improved histological changes and diminished intima-media thickness ratio of thoracic aorta in atherosclerotic rats. As for the difference in anti-atherosclerotic effects betweenMf A and Mf B, Mf A may be more powerful in declining TG level and Mf B may be more effective in decreasing TC level.
The two different extracts, Mf A and Mf B can prevent the development of atherosclerosis, In detail, Mf A is more effective in regulating TG level and Mf B is more powerful in modulating TC level in atherosclerotic rats.
通过建立动脉粥样硬化大鼠模型,比较不同提取方法得到的算盘子叶提取物的抗动脉粥样硬化作用。
将干燥的算盘子叶粉末用乙醇提取并浓缩,然后通过 Diaion HP-20 CC 柱层析,用甲醇和水(50:50、100:0,v/v)进行梯度洗脱,得到两个部位,分别命名为算盘子叶 A(Mf A)和算盘子叶 B(Mf B)。将大鼠分为对照组、动脉粥样硬化模型组和维生素 E、Mf A、Mf B 治疗组。采用大剂量维生素 D3 灌胃联合普通饲料喂养(添加 2%胆固醇、0.5%猪胆盐、0.2%甲巯咪唑、5%蔗糖、10%猪油)的方法建立动脉粥样硬化模型。维生素 E(0.20 g/kg)、Mf A(0.053 g/kg)、Mf B(0.057 g/kg)(以有效剂量计)进行干预。9 周后处死大鼠,检测血脂和胆汁成分,取胸主动脉观察组织学变化和内膜中层厚度比。
成功建立了动脉粥样硬化模型,维生素 E、Mf A、Mf B 干预后,大鼠胆汁总胆红素排泄量增加,三酰甘油(TG)、总胆固醇(TC)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)水平降低,高密度脂蛋白胆固醇与 LDL-C 比值升高,改善了动脉粥样硬化大鼠的组织学变化,降低了胸主动脉内膜中层厚度比。Mf A 和 Mf B 抗动脉粥样硬化作用的差异表现为,Mf A 降低 TG 作用更强,Mf B 降低 TC 作用更明显。
两种不同的提取物 Mf A 和 Mf B 均可预防动脉粥样硬化的发生,且 Mf A 可能更有利于调节 TG 水平,Mf B 更有利于调节 TC 水平。
