Each group contained 10 hamsters： red wine group, alcohol-free red wine group, alcohol group, hypedipidemia group, and control group. During the four-week regime, all the hamsters were fed with a high cholesterol diet, except the control group. After completion of the trial, the plasma lipid levels and lipid peroxidation contents were determined in the golden hamsters, and the morphological variation in liver cells was investigated with electron microscopy. The results showed that concentrations of TC and TG in red wine, alcohol-free red wine, and alcohol groups had decreased dramatically. Compared with the hyperlipidemia group, the levels of LDL-C had significantly decreased in other groups, but not the HDL-C. Consumption of red wine, alcohol-free red wine, and alcohol, had no significant effects on Apo A1 and Apo B. Red wine, alcohol-free red wine, and alcohol significantly decreased the contents of MDA in hamsters. The experiment demonstrated that red wine could ameliorate the incidence of atherosclerosis （AS） via reducing serum TC, TG, LDL-C, and the compounds in red wine had synergic effects.展开更多

Lipid peroxide (LPO) concentrations were increased slightly in the medium after incubation of macrophages with normal LDL (n-LDL), while decreased significantly in the media after incubation of macrophages with pox-LDL. In the three groups with pox-LDL, it could be found that there was a dose-dependent decrease of concentrations of LPO and total cholesterol (TCH) in the two RSM groups, and the decrease in the two RSM groups was much greater than in the group without RSM. RSM accelerated a more decrease of LPO than cholesterol contents in the media containing pox-LDL. The ultrastructural studies also showed that RSM induced the accumulation of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm of mouse peritoneal macrophages. The results suggested that RSM could accelerate the phagocytosis and degradation of pox-LDL by macrophages.展开更多
