Joint effect of a combination of components from the fruit of Crataegus pinnatifida Bge. Var. major N.E. Br. and the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge. with swimming on atherosclerosis in rats.

ABSTRACT: Background: It has been recognized that exercise training can attenuate the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). The combined application of components from the fruit of Crataegus pinnatifida Bge. Var. major N.E. Br. (CP) and the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge. (SM) has been effective in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. The present work aims to investigate the joint effects of extracts from the fruit of CP and the root of SM with swimming on atherosclerosis in rats. Method: To establish a rat atherosclerosis model, a combined method of partial ligation of the left common carotid artery leading to low shear stress and a high-fat diet was employed. Blood samples were collected to detect the blood lipid profile, which included total choleste
