Theoretical And Experimental Study On Effects Of Erchen Tang For Declining Cholesterol

Objective: To explore the theoretical treatment basis and experimental treatment basis of Erchen Tang on HLP. Methods: After analyzing the research references of treating HLP with TCM and Chinese pharmacy, it has been realized that excess of damp phlegm is one of important pathological mechanisms of HLP, and eliminating dampness and phlegm is an important treatment method. Erchen Tang is an effective medicinal formula for eliminating dampness and phlegm. This thesis explored the TCM theoretical basis of the effective therapy of declining cholesterol. The author regarded that dispersing and depurative function of the lung becomes abnormal can lead to HLP, and regulating functions of the lung, the spleen, the liver and the kidney can effectively cure the HLP. Then the author researched the experimental treatment of declining cholesterol on the big rat and small rat model established by experiment fat. Results: The experiment expressed that Erchen Tang could lower the content of CHO, TG and ET in blood as well promote the consistency of NO in blood serum. The effective treatment of Liuwei Erchen Tang added black plum and ginger on the basis of Erchen Tang is superior to Siwei Erchen Tang. This shows that black plum and ginger are absolutely necessary. This discovery is of theoretical and practical significance. Conclusions: Erchen Tang has an effective therapy for HLP, and it should be take into a wide clinical application.
