Objective:To discuss the effect of Rhizoma Alismatis on blood fat in different health volunteers. Methods:The experiment wasfinished in NO.9 People’s Hospital of Chongqing

from January 2007 to December 2007. 26 subjects were all healthy people. The 26 sub-jects took Rhizoma Alismatis granula(national food health product No.:G20040383

provided by the biochemistry technology development center of Shanghai). The essential component was Rhizoma Alismatis

5 g/pouch

taken once every morning and night

one pouch once time for two weeks as a course of treatment

two courses. Blood was drawn from the volunteers under the age of 50 years and above the age of 50 years before and after medication for two and four weeks

respectively. Serum protein cholesterol

apoprotein A

apoprotein B were detected by Hitachi 7 600 automatic biochemistry analyzer. Results:In the volunteers under the age of 50 years

the level of triacylglycerol had a down tendency after 2 week medication. Compared with that before medication

the level of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol had significant difference (P<0.01)

with no change in apoprotein A

apoprotein B and high density lipoprotein cholesterol. After four week medication

the level of triacylglycerol had a down tendency. Compared with that before medication

the level of total cholesterol

lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol and apoprotein B had significant difference(P<0.01)

with no change in apoproatein A and high density lipoprotein cholesterol. In the volunteers above the age of 50 years

after two weeks of medication

the level of total cholesterol had a down tendency

and triacylglycerol had a remarkable decrease. Compared with that before medication

the level of triacylglycerol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol had significant difference(P<0.05). Apoprotein B had a noticeable decrease

with significant difference(P<0.01)compared with that before medication. Apoproatein A and high density lipoprotein cholesterol had no change. The results after four weeks and two weeks of medication were the same. Conclusion:Rhizoma Alismatis could reduce the level of total cholesterol

apoprotein B and lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol for healthy people.
