RESUMO
A total of 51 cases with hyperlipidemia, who were defined deficiency symptom-complex complicated by symptoms of excessiveness in TCM were studied clinically. The patients were divided into two groups at random. One group was treated with Xiaobu Jianfei Pian (XJP) as treated group, another with Fangfeng Tongsheng San as a control. It was found that XJP was able to lower total serum cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein (apo) B significantly (P less than 0.001, 0.001, 0.001) while it had markedly improved clinical symptoms. It was also observed that XJP had good effects on the ratios of apoA1/B and TC/HDL-C, and was able to reduce body weight index. All of these were better than those of the control group statistically. These evidences indicate that XJP possesses clinical therapeutic effects on both lipid-lowering and lipid-adjusting, which suggest that XJP may be an effective anti-hyperlipidemia medicine.
