Effect of buckwheat on high-fat diet rat lipid metabolism

The aim of this study was to point out the effect of buckwheat on antioxidant activity of hyperlipidemia rats. Fifty male Wistar hamsters were assigned randomly to the following groups:control diet,high-fat diet(HFD)and low,medium,high dosage BW(1,5,10g/kg·d) groups. The SOD,GSH-PX and MDA in serum and SOD,MDA in livers were detected after 30 days. The results showed that compared with model group,the levels of SOD,GSH-PX were increased(p<0.05),MDA was decreased(p<0.05) in serum,the buckwheat group SOD was increased(p<0.05),MDA was decreased(p<0.05) in liver of buckwheat group. Buckwheat may improve the antioxidant activity of high-fat diet-induced rats.
