In order to determine the effect of Sopungchukdamtang experimental studies were performed in Hyperlipidemia Rats. The contents of serum Total cholesterol, Triglyceride, Free fatty acid, Phospholipid, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were measured The results were summarized as follows; 1. The content of Total cholesterol in the serum compared with control group tended to be decreased in Sopungchukdamtang(34mg/l00g) group, but did not show a significance. Sopungchukdamtang (17mg/l00g) group showed a significant value. 2. The content of Triglyceride in the serum compared with control group tended to be decreased in Sopungchukdamtang(17mg/l00g) group and Sopungchukdamtang(34mg/l00g) group, but did not show a significance. 3. The content of Free fatty acid in the serum was significantly decreased in Sopungchukdamtang(17mg/l00g) group and Sopungchukdamtang(34mg/l00g) group. 4. The content of Phospholipid in the serum compared with control group tended. to be decreased in Sopungchukdamtang(34mg/l00g) group, but did not show a significance. Sopungchukdamtang(17mg/l00g) group showed a significant value. 5. The content of HDL-cholesterol in the serum compared with control group tended to be increased in Sopungchukdamtang(17mg/l00g) group, but did not show a significance. Sopungchukdamtang(34mg/l00g) group showed a significant value. 6. The content of LDL-cholesterol in the serum compared with control group tended to be decreased in Sopungchukdamtang(34mg/l00g) group, but did not show a significance. Sopungchukdamtang(17mg/100g) group showed a significant value. According to the above results, it is assumed that Sopungchukdam-tang has a valid effect on Hyperlipidemia.
