Abstract
Experiments on rats with hyperlipidemia model induced by cholesterol-rich diet during 4 weeks showed that the daily treatment with sesquiterpene lactone grossgemin and ludartin in doses 10 mg/kg for a period of 14 days led to decrease hypertriglyceridemia, fat acids, common cholesterol and low density lipoproteins cholesterol serum content. Grossgemin and ludartin in the liver increase the expression of mRNA genes that code acyl-Co A: cholesterol acyltransferase, cholesterol-7[alpha]-hydroxylase, carnitin-palmytoiltransferases 1 and 2. Grossgemin increase the expression of mRNA gene3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-Co A reductase
