摘要

目的:

本研究旨在分析血脂康对绝经早期高胆固醇血症妇女胆固醇合成和吸收的血脂水平标志物的影响

并初步探讨其降脂机制.

方法:

本研究将首都医科大学北京安贞医院收治的90例绝经早期高胆固醇血症妇女随机分配接受血脂康 (每日1200毫克

口服) 或阿托伐他汀 (每日10毫克

口服) 治疗. 在干预前和干预后8周

检测相关生化指标、胆固醇合成标志物 (角鲨烯、二氢胆固醇、脱氢胆固醇和板条甾醇) 和吸收标志物 (营甾醇、豆甾醇和谷甾醇) 的水平.

结果:

治疗8周后

血脂康较基线明显降低TC水平 (5.45±0.86 vs 4.93±0.83

P=0.000) 、甘油三酯 (1.66±1.34 vs 1.31±0.68

P=0.003) 、LDL胆固醇 (3.34±0.76 vs 2.93±0.70

P=0.001)

同时阿托伐他汀也较基线明显降低总胆固醇 (5.69±0.86 vs 4.98±1.14

P=0.001) 、甘油三酯 (1.91±1.07 vs 1.41±0.60

P=0.001) 、LDL胆固醇 (3.42±0.79 vs 2.99±0.90

P = 0.001) . 血脂康较基线明显降低角鲨烯 (0.83±0.41

vs 0.53±0.27

P=0.001) 、脱氢胆固醇 (5.60±3.24 vs 3.80±1.63

P=0.001) 、7-烯胆甾烷醇 (7.44±7.53 vs 4.08±2.66

P=0.000) 水平

而阿托伐他汀仅较基线明显降低角鲨烯 (0.91±0.87 vs . 0.59±0.29

P=0.001) 水平. 所有胆固醇吸收标志物治疗前后差异无统计学意义 (P > 0.05)

但下降趋势更为明显.

结论:

血脂康可能通过其“天然合剂”中的麦角甾醇和类黄酮类物质对绝经早期女性高胆固醇血症患者的胆固醇的合成代谢产生更全面的影响.

Abstract

Objective:

To analyze the effect of Xuezhikang on the markers of the serum lipid levels of cholesterol synthesis and absorption in early menopausal women with hypercholesterolemia

and preliminarily explore its lipid-lowering mechanism.

Methods:

A total of 90 early menopausal women with hypercholesterolemia were enrolled from December

2014 to May

2016 from Beijing Anzhen Hospital

Capital Medical University

who were randomly allocated to receive Xuezhikang (1200 mg/d

orally) or atorvastatin (10 mg/d

orally) according to a random number table. Serum levels of some related biomarkers

including cholesterol synthesis markers (squalene

dihydrocholesterol

dehydrocholesterol

and lathosterol)

and absorption markers (campesterol

stigmasterol

and sitosterol) as well as safety indices were obtained at baseline and after 8 weeks of the intervention.

Results:

Eight weeks after treatment

both Xuezhikang and atorvastatin significantly reduced the levels of total cholesterol

triglycerides

low density cholesterol compared to baseline (all

0.01). Xuezhikang significantly reduced the levels of squalene

dehydrocholesterol and lathosterol compared to baseline (all

0.01)

but atorvastatin only significantly reduced the level of squalene (

0.01)

compared to baseline. All cholesterol absorption markers showed no significant differences before and after treatment (

0.05)

however

a more obvious downward trend was shown in the Xuezhikang group. In addition

all the safety indices showed no significant differences between the two groups. Although the creatinekinase level in the Xuezhikang group was significantly higher

it remained within the safe range.

Conclusions:

Xuezhikang may have more comprehensive effects on the markers of cholesterol synthesis and metabolism in early menopausal women with hypercholesterolemia through ergosterol and flavonoids in its "natural polypill."
