However,there were no significant changes in haematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (P>0.05).In a few cases there occurred adverse reactions of palpitation and restlessness.展开更多

Twenty four rats weighing between 120-130 g were randomly assigned into four groups. Group A was fed normal diet, Group B, C and D were fed hypercholesterolemic diet （i.e. 20% fat ＋ 1% cholesterol） for two weeks to establish hypercholesterolemia. Group B were maintained on hyper diet while C and D were fed 5% and 10% benniseed oil supplemented diet for four weeks. Plasma was collected and analyzed for TC （total cholesterol）, HDL-C （high density lipoprotein）, LDL-C （low density lipoprotein） and TG （triglycerides） levels. Linoleic acid （42.44%） and oleic acid （40.60%） were the major unsaturated fatty acid in the oil. Significant increase （P 〈 0.05） was observed in the TC, TG, LDL and LDL/HDL ratio of the hypercholesterolemic rats compared to the normal control. Supplementation with Sesamum indicum seed oil at 5% and 10% levels resulted in significant decrease （P 〈 0.05） in TC, TG, LDL and LDL/HDL ratio, and significant increase in the HDL-C. The high level of unsaturated fatty acid in the oil may in part be responsible for the hypocholesterolemic effect of the oil.展开更多

A reverse-phase column was used with UV detection at 245 nm. The mobile phase consisted of methanol-water-acetic acid （95.5：4.5：0.5, v/v/v） run at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Testosterone propionate was used as the internal standard. The standard curve was linear over the range of 0.05-50 ~tg/mL in rat plasma with a linear correlation coefficient greater than 0.999. The lower limit of quantification of this assay was 20 ng/mL. The recoveries of samples at 0.05, 2 and 40 μg/mL were 97.6%, 98.4% and 103.2%, respectively. The relative standard deviations of intra- and inter-day assay variations were less than 8.2%. The usefulness of the assay was confirmed by the successful analysis of plasma samples from a pharmacokinetics study in rats. Following a single dose of ganoderic acid T （5 mg/kg for i.v. or 14 mg/kg for p.o.）, the main pharmacokinetic parameters by intravenous injection were： t1/2α （5.46±1.25） min; t1/2β：（227.18±11.40） min; CL： （1.09±0.16） mL/（kg·min）; A UC0-12 h： （3939.13±311.14） μg.min/mL; AUC0-12h （4681.96±710.70）μg.min/mL and the absolute bioavailability was 41.98%±2.40%. This method is simple, sensitive, and accurate. It is suitable for pharmacokinetic studies of ganoderic acid in rats.展开更多
