Effect of aerobic exercise and ginsenosides on lipid metabolism in diet-induced hyperlipidemia mice

摘要

AIM: To study the effect of aerobic exercise and its combination with Gin (ginsenosides from stems and leaves of ginseng) on lipid metabolism in diet-induced hyperlipidemia mice. METHODS: The mouse hyperlipidemia model was set up by feeding high cholesterol diet. Unloaded swimming was designed to be a manner of aerobic exercise. The effects of aerobic exercise and its combination with Gin on total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) in serum, malondi- aldehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in liver tissue were measured; the thymus and liver were weighted.
