[Effect of Herbal-cake-separated Moxibustion on Blood Lipid Levels and Expression of Hepatic PPARγ and SR-B 1 Proteins and Genes in Hyperlipidemia Atherosclerosis Rabbits]

To observe the effect of herbal-cake-separated moxibustion on blood lipid levels and expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorForty male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into normal control, model, moxibustion and Simvastatin groups (After modeling, plasma TC, TG and LDL-C levels in the model group were significantly increased (Herbal-cake-separated moxibustion can regulate blood lipid levels and suppress hyperlipidemia-induced decrease of expression of hepatic PPARγ and SR-B 1 proteins and genes in hyperlipidemia atherosclerosis rabbits, which maybe contribute to its action in anti-atherosclerosis through promoting reversal of cholesterol.
