| Abstract: |
A clinical study was performed on the effect of in vitro cultured Anoectochilus formosanus HAYATA on lipid-metabolism. Sixty-six volunteers, including 36 healthy, 14 high-triglyceride-, 11 high-cholesterol- and 5 high-triglyceride- and high cholesterol- subjects, were administrated with A. formosanus (450 mg/day) for 6 months or 12 months. A. formosanus significantly decreased the concentrations of the serum levels of cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and very low density lipoprotein in all volunteers. The results of the present study suggested that A. formosanus might function as a liver activator resulting in improvement of lipid-metabolism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
