Hexane, chloroform, methanol and water extracts of Paeoniae Radix were tested on the experimentally induced hypercholesterolemia in rats for lowering effect of serum lipoprotein contents. Hyperlipidemia was induced on male Wistar rats by feeding high cholestetrol diet for 7 days. Serum lipid profile was verified on these rats by measuring total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL). Then, the diet was changed to normal. At the same time, hexane, chloroform, methanol and water extract of Paeoniae Radix were given orally on daily basis, and the changes in the serum lipid profile were assessed for 4 weeks. Methanol extract of Paeoniae radix decreased TC level at 1. 2, and 4 week point significantly, and water extract decreased TC level at 4 week point significantly comparing with the control group.
