The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of isolated protein from white rice on lipid metabolism in a hypercholesterolemic animal model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups and fed either a normal diet or a high-cholesterol diet (HCD) containing either casein or isolated rice protein for 4 weeks. Compared with rats fed a HCD with casein, the total cholesterol (TC) level in the plasma was significantly reduced in the rats fed rice protein. However, no significant differences were observed in the triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and glucose levels among the experimental groups. Hepatic total lipids and TC levels were significantly decreased by supplementation with rice protein. In addition, rice protein significantly increased the levels of TC and bile acids in the feces. These results suggest that rice protein may improve HCD-induced hypercholesterolemia by enhancing fecal excretion of cholesterol.

The effect of Ginseng root on experimentally induced hypertension in rat was investigated. The results are concluded as follow; 1) We failed to produce hypercholesterolemic hypertension in rats of cholesterol (20 mg/kg) feeding for 60 days. 2) Ginseng supressed the increased blood pressure which induced by thyroxine treatment for 5 days of 1.0 mg/kg does during cholesterol feeding. 3) Ginseng per se revealed slightly increased blood pressure in normal and cholesterol fed rats. 4) No pathological changes were found macroscopically and microscopically in aorta of all experimental animal. 5) It is suggested that Ginseng has no direct action on peripheral vascular wall but plays a some role on centrally mediated mechanism. The confirmatory experiment should be performed.

The diets with three types of triterpenoid constituents, which were isolated from Lactuca indica, provoked significant changes of serum lipoprotein-cholesterol meta bolisms of hypercholesterolemic rats induced by high-cholesterol diet, together with the reduction of atherogenic index. Especially, triterpene acetates which have triterpene moieties such as ${\beta}-amyrin$, ${\alpha}-amyrin$, lupeol, pseudotaraxasterol, taraxasterol and germanicol showed a considerable hypocholesterolemic activity. The rat given orally with triterpene acetates did not exhibit a significantly higher value of atherogenic index than that of normal rats.

This study was performed to investigate the term effect of fermented milk in drink on rats fed by cholesterol diet. 150 to 5-week-old male rates of Sprague-Dawley strain weer divided into six groups according to diet and content of fermented milk in drink. The first group served as normal control group fed by synthetic pellets of standard diet. The second , cholesterol control group, was treated with standard diet containing 1% of cholesterol and 500000IU/100g of vitamin D2. The other four groups. fermented milk groups, FM-25,FM-50 , FM 75 and FM-100 were treated with the cholesterol and vitamin D2 diet and supplied with 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% of fermented milk in drink , respectively. The animals were sacrificed for analysis in 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Weight gain, diet intake , and drink consumption were significantly different among groups. Fermented milk reduced serum cholesterol to a significant effect (p<0.05) and significantly increased the ratio of high density lipprotein cholesterol to total cholesterol(p<0.05). Serum triglycerides were reduced to a smaller and less significant effect in fermented milk group. The aorta and liver of fermented milk showed slighter medial calcification and necrosis and milder fat degeneration than did the cholesterol control group. Supplementation of fermented milk may have a helpful effect on hypercholesteremia and atherosclerosis.

In order to investigate the effect of HGCS on Hypercholesterolemia in rats diagnosed with hypertension, changes of related factors in blood and tissues of animal models were studied. The results are as following: At 250 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ or lower doses of HGCS, human fibroblast cells showed a survival rate of more than 90%. HGCS significantly reduced the total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in blood observed in hypercholesterolemia rats. On the other hand, HGCS signicantly increased the blood HDL cholesterol level, compared to that of the control group. HGCS significantly reduced triglycerides caused by hypercholesterolemia. However, glucose level was decreased insignificantly. Significant decrease of hyperoxidative lipid level in tissues due to hypercholesterolemia was observed in HGCS treated group. Significant increase of SOD and catalase activities in tissues due to hypercholesterolemia were observed in HGCS treated group. From the results above, the anti-hypercholesterolemic effect of clinically used HGCS has been experimentally proved. More active prescription of HGCS to hypercholesterolemia and related patients should be available in the future.

This study was designed to investigate the optimum recommendation level on Gatrodia rhizoma and the effects on the improvement of the lipids in the dietary hypercholesterterolemic rats. Experimental diets mixed with 5% Dioscorea batatas(Group 2), 10% Dioscorea batatas(Group 3), 15% Dioscorea batatas (Group 4) 5% Gastrodia rhizoma (Group 5), 10% Gastrodia rhizoma (Group 6), and 15% Gastrodia rhizoma (Group 7), were administered to the male rats of the Sprague Dawley for 3 weeks. Concentration of total cholesterol in serum was lower in the Gastrodia rhizoma groups than in the other groups, especially total cholesterol concentration of 10% Gastrodia rhizoma(Group 6) was the lowest in the Gastrodia rhizoma groups. Concentration of HDL-cholesterol in serum was higher in the 10% Gastrodia rhizoma and 15% Gastrodia rhizoma than in the other groups. Concentrations of cholesteryl ester, LDL, LDL-cholesterol in serum were the lowest in the 10% Gastrodia rhizoma. Concentration of glucose and activity of GPT in serum were the lowest in the 10% Gastrodia rhizoma group. The activity of GOT in serum was lower in the 10% Gastrodia rhizoma group and 15% Gastrodia rhizoma group than in the other groups. Therefore, we consider that there are effects on the improvement of the lipids in the Gastrodia rhizoma and the optimum recommendation quantity of Gastrodia rhizoma is 10% to quantity of food composition.

Effect of the ingestion of porphyran extracted from Porphyra yezoensis on calcium, magnesium and potassium contents in serum and tissue was investigated using hyperlipidemic and hypercholesterolemic rats. The contents of calcium magnesium and potassium in serum of rats fed porphyran for four weeks were higher than those of the control group. The contents of calcium and potassium were decreased with increasing a porphyran level while magnesium content was increased. Liver calcium contents in an $1\%$ porphyran group were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those in the control group, and magnesium contents in a $10\%$ porphyran group were higher than those in the control group. Kidney calcium and magnesium contents in rats fed porphyran were significantly (p<0.05) high compared with the control group. However, potassium content in kidney was Increased as a porphyran level was increased in diet. Spleen calcium and potassium contents were significantly lower in the porphyran groups than those in the control group. Rats fed the $5\%$ porphyran diet had higher magnesium content in spleen than any other diets. The results showed that diets supplemented with several porphyran levels had variable effects on the contents of calcium, magnesium and potassium in serum and tissue of hyperlipidemic rats.

김치유산균인 L. plantarum CIB 001(KCTC 11717 bp)을 고콜레스테롤을 식이를 섭취시킨 흰쥐에게 급여하여 혈청 지질 성상 및 간 조직의 변화를 살펴보았다. 4주간의 실험식이로 고콜레스테롤 유도한 후, 6주간 고콜레스테롤 식이와 함께 CIB 001 유산균을 $5.0-7.5{\times}10^9$ CFU/day 수준으로 급여한 결과 총 콜레스테롤을 HCD군에 비해 약 30% 정도 유의하게 감소시켰고 중성지방을 약 32% 정도 유의하게 감소시켰다. HDL-콜레스테롤에 있어서는 HCD군에 비해 CIB 001를 급여한 군(HCDL)이 약 40% 유의적으로 증가하였고, LDL-콜레스테롤은 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 표준편차가 커서 유의성이 없었다. 동맥경화지수(AI)와 심장위험인자(CRF)를 비교하였을 때, HCD군에 비하여 HCDL군에서 AI가 약 6배 유의하게 낮아졌고 CRF도 약 1.9배 유의적으로 낮아졌다. 또한, 간 조직을 관찰한 결과, 고콜레스테롤 식이에 의해 유발된 지방 변성과 손상의 경우 HCDL군에서 중심정맥을 중심으로 정상 모양의 재생과 지방 변성을 감소시키는 것이 관찰되었다. 따라서 CIB 001의 투여가 콜레스테롤 과잉혈증 상태에서 높아진 혈장 지질을 저하시키고 간 기능을 개선시켰으며 동맥경화와 심장질환의 가능성을 감소시키는 것으로 나타냈다.
