Abstract: In order to establish a hyperlipidemic mouse model by feeding high-fat diet, SD mice fed Pu-erh tea at the dosages of 0.5, 1.0 g/(kg ·d) and 2.0 g/(kg ·d) for 35 consecutive days. The total cholesterol (TCHO), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood of SD mice were determined. Meanwhile, plasma thromboxane-B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α) were also analyzed by ELISA. The results showed that the levels of TCHO, TC, LDL-C and TXB2 in SD mouse blood exhibited a significant reduction in treatment groups while HDL-C and 6-keto-PGF1α revealed a significant increase (P<0.05; P<0.01) when compared with the control group.

Key words: Pu-erh tea, hyperlipidemia, thromboxane B2 (TXB2), 6-keto-PGF1α
