Abstract:

AIM: To explore alternate dosing of ezetimibe and colestipol on regulating for lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemia rats.  METHODS:Fifty rats of clean grade, half male and female were modeling through feeding high fat diet; the rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, and experimental groups (including ezetimibe group, colestipol group, ezetimibe+colestipol group); experimental groups received gavage administration, while the normal group and model group were given normal saline for 8 weeks; TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and ACC, FAS, HMGR, CPT-I expression of mRNA in serum were thereafter detected. RESULTS: The levels of TC, TG, LDL-C and AAC, FAS, HMGR mRNA in serum were decreased, and levels of ezetimibe+colestipol group were significantly lower than those of single drug group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Alternate dosing of ezetimibe and colestipol was better than single medication in regulating lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemia rats, but the effect on human body still needs further clinical validation.
