We investigated the effect of seatangle drink and seatangle extract on lipid oxidation, blood coagulation and intestinal movement in rats fed a hyperlipidemic diet. In the dietary hyperlipidemic induced group, the serum superoxide dismutase activity decreased and formation of hydroxy radical increased when compared to normal group, but these were controlled by seatangle drink treatment. The decreased of bleeding time and increased of tissue factor in the dietary hyperlipidemic rats were regulated by seatangle drink and seatangle extract, and especially the activity of tissue factor was remarkably decreased. Seatangle drink and seatangle extract were increased contraction on intestinal movement. Therefore, it can be concluded that seatangle drink or seatangle extract treatment depresses changing in absorption of gastrointestinal track in rats fed a hyperlipidemic diet.

In this study, we investigated the effect of seatangle drink and seatangle extract product on weight gain and serum and hepatic lipid composition in rats fed a hyperlipidemic diet. In the dietary hyperlipidemia induced rats, it was observed that serum triglyceride, phospholipid, total lipid, LDL-cholesterol level and atherosclerotic index were higher, while the HDL-cholesterol level was lower when compared to the normal group. Total hepatic lipid and cholesterol content of the dietary hyperlipidemia induced rats was conspicuously decreased by seatangle drink and seatangle extract product treatment. Especially, triglyceride content was decreased to 30% by seatangle drink treatment, and 45% by seatangle extract product treatment.
