Abstract

Background and Aim: Policosanol is a component from main alcohol groups with long-chain which is extracted from cane sugar. In the present study, we investigated the effect of policosanol on ATHEROSCLEROSIS some of its biochemical risk factors in hypercholesterolemic rabbits.Materials and Methods: 24 male rabbits of New Zealand race with average weight of 1750gr were divided in to 4 group: control group (n=6) had normal diet, Sham and experimental group no.1 and no.2 (n=6) had high cholesterol (2%) diet, and they received placebo and policosanol with doses of 0.25 and 0.5mg respectively, every day. After 4 weeks of treatment, blood samples were obtained and cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-C and HDL-C were measured. For histological studies part of aorta was dissected and fixed in formalin %10. Data were introduced into SPSS software and analyzed by variance analysis.Result: The results showed that in experimental group no.1 there was significant decrease in the rate of cholesterol, LDL-C and triglyceride (P<0.05), and significant increase in HDL-C (P<0.05) compared with those of control group. Also in experimental group no.2 there was a significant decrease in cholesterol, LDL-C and triglyceride (P<0.01) in the rate of cholesterol, LDL-C and triglyceride, and significant increase (P<0.01), and significant increase in HDL-C (P<0.01) compared with those of control group. Histological investigations showed treatment by policosanol in experimental group no.1 and no.2 could prevent atheroma plaque formation.Conclusion: policosanol can be an effective component in decreasing cholesterol, LDL-C and triglyceride and increasing HDL-C, leading to prevention of atheroma plaque formation.
