In this study, we examined whether in vivo keishi-bukuryo-gan (a Kampo formulation) could prevent the progression of atherosclerosis in cholesterol-fed rabbits, an animal model for hypercholesterolaemia. Sixteen male Japanese white rabbits (2 kg body weight) were divided into two groups. Group A (n

To investigate the effect of dietary minerals on cholesterol metabolism, four groups of rabbits were fed semipurified diets with modified mineral mixes for 7 weeks. Compared with the control diet that contained minerals at the 4% (wt/wt) level (diet A), LDL-cholesterol was significantly higher (P <
Vitamin E and probucol are well-known antioxidants that prevent cells from the oxidative stress, which is a risk factor of atherosclerosis. Male rabbits were fed either 0.03% vitamin E or 0.05% probucol in a 0.5% high-cholesterol (HC) diet for 8 weeks. Vitamin E and probucol significantly suppressed
