Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Aerobic exercise has an anti-atherosclerosis effect and some Chinese herbal components have some interventional effects on the atherosclerosis vulnerable plaque.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects on lipid metabolism and adhesion molecules of atherosclerotic elderly rats after the interventions of Poria compound and aerobics exercise, and explore the mechanism and prevention of hyperlipidemia-induced atherosclerosis.

METHODS: Forty Spraque-Dawley elderly rats, of specific pathogen free level, were randomly divided into four groups: control group, model group, medication group, and intervention group, with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the control group were normally fed, while rats in the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with vitamin D3 and high-fat forage for 16 weeks, to establish atherosclerosis model. During the model establishment, rats in the medication and intervention groups were given 20 g/kg Poria compound and Poria compound + 1-hour swimming, respectively.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, total cholesterol, serum triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein expression, intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 and lymphocyte function association antigen-1 concentrations were increased in the model group. Compared with the model group, these indexes were obviously increased in the medication and intervention groups. The serum triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein expression in the intervention group were lower than those in the medication group, while the serum  
high-density lipoprotein expression was higher than the medication group. Experimental findings indicate that, the combined interventions of Poria compound and aerobics exercise is better than Poria compound alone, and multi-factor treatment of atherosclerosis should be taken to enhance the efficacy of collaborative approach.
