Background: Atherosclerosis is a major cause of death in many countries, which causes specific clinical symptoms that may be different based on the affected area and the characteristics of the lesion. Despite being familiar with this disease, some of its basic characteristics have not been discovered yet. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of Scrophularia striata extract on cardiovascular structural changes or atherosclerosis disease.
Materials and methods: 20 adult male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 4 control groups, hypercholesterolemic (8 weeks of high-fat diet), hypercholesterolemic + Scrophularia striata (4 weeks of high-fat diet + 4 weeks of Scrophularia striata in the amount of 400 mg/kg) and the Scrophularia striata extract group (4 weeks of normal diet + 4 weeks of Scrophularia striata extract at the rate of 400 mg/kg) were divided. At the end of the course, blood was taken from the ear vein.
Results: After consuming a high-fat diet in the hypercholesterolemic group, serum total cholesterol and LDL levels increased and alkaline phosphatase and HDL decreased significantly, compared to the control group. High-fat diet results in increased thickness of endothelium and calcification in the vessel. Also, the above indicators showed a significant decrease in the hypercholesterolemia+ Scrophularia striata group compared to the hypercholesterolemia group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The findings showed that after consuming a high-fat diet, ingestion of Scrophularia striata may have a protective effects on the rabbit’s vessels.
