| Research Abstract |
Yomogi water extracts extended the lag phase of conjugated diene formation in human LDL oxidation. Yomogi water extracts dose-dependently inhibited hexanoyl lysine and TBARS formations, and degradation of ApoB100 in human LDL oxidation. These results indicate yomogi has a strong anti-oxidative activity in each phase from the beginning to the end of LDL oxidation. Yomogi water extracts inhibited secretion of ApoB48(chylomicron) from human intestinal CaCo-2 cells, and inhibited synthesis of ApoB100(LDL-cholesterol) in human HepG2 cells. Collectively, the results imply that daily consumption of yomogi may have an effect to slow down the development of human atherosclerosis.
