Abstract:The differential auxiliary hypolipidemic effects of Pu′er tea extract，Pu′er tea polysaccharide extract，and Pu′er tea polyphenol extract compounded with a combination of Pueraria lobata and hawthorn were investigated on rats with high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia.The experimental rats were randomly divided into the following groups：healthy rats（normal），rats with high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia（model），positive，Pueraria lobata-hawthorn-Pu′er tea extract complex，Pueraria lobata-hawthorn-Pu′er tea polysaccharide extract complex，and Pueraria lobata-hawthorn-Pu′er tea polyphenol extract complex.A rat model of hyperlipidemia was established by feeding a high-fat diet to the rats and different test substances were administered intragastrically for four weeks to assess their effects.The contents of total cholesterol，triglycerides，high-density lipoprotein cholesterol，and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were determined every two weeks.Compared to the model group，treatment with different complexes showed auxiliary hypolipidemic effects，with the tea polysaccharide complex group exhibiting the maximum effect.The combination of tea polysaccharides，and medicinal and edible plantsexerted a synergistic hypolipidemic effect，creating new possibilities for the development of tea，and medicinal and edible plantsin the future.
