Abstract: Using the hypercholesterolemia SD rats to observe the antilipidemic and preventing and curing effects of fatty liver by polysaccharides extracted from sweet potato vines. The experiment was lasted for 8w. Taking the blood every 2w, and the TC, TG, HDL-C in the serum were measured by reagent box, LDL-C and AI was got from the formula. The raw fat in liver was measured by Soxhlet extracting and the liver cells were observed by paraffin-sections and optical microscope. Result: PSPV could decrease serum TC, TG, LDL-C, AI and the raw fat in liver would vary remarkably. The fatty liver was prevented and cured effectively too. Conclusion: PSPV had very significant effect of antilipidemic and preventing and curing fatty liver on the hypercholesterolemia rats.

Key words: polysaccharides from sweet potato vines (PSPV), antilipemic function, fatty liver
