Abstract

Rats being fed with 1% Viscaceae powder containing diet for 10 weeks, total cholesterol in serum and liver tissue decreased by 17% and neutral fat decreased by 10%. And also, hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity had a tendency to decrease by 43% in the 1% Viscaceae fed group. In saponin fraction of Viscaceae fed group and in alkaloidal fraction of Viscaceae fed group, it had a tendency to decrease by 65%, and 86% expectively.
