Abstract:

In this study, we investigated the hypolipidemic effect of nut oil of Korean pine from the Changbai Mountain
on mice. When compared to negative control group (HF), the mice from the groups administrated with Korean pine nut oil
exhibited significant decreases in serum and visceral total cholesterol (TC) and triacylglycerol (TG), and serum low density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and a noticeable increase in serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). These
results showed that Korean pine nut oil could be potentially used as a valuable source of natural hypolipidemic agents.

Key words: nut oil of Korean pine from the Changbai Mountain, anti-hyperlipidemia effect, serum lipid, liver lipid, kidney lipid
