Effects of LYS-ARG-ARG-LYS-PRO-GLY-PRO Peptide, Warfarin, and Acetylsalicylic Acid on Lipid Metabolism in Rats with Metabolic Syndrome
摘要
A comparative study of three drugs (KRRKPGP peptide, warfarin and acetylsalicylic acid) with an anticoagulant effect in the body was conducted. The drugs were administered orally in effective doses (peptide and warfarin 100 µg/kg, acetylsalicylic acid 1 mg/kg) for 7 days to laboratory rats with metabolic syndrome induced by a high-calorie diet (HCD). As early as 20 h after the last administration of the drugs, a decrease in the concentration of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides and an increase in the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and a slowdown in the growth of body weight in rats were detected, which persisted for 7 days after stopping their administration. The greatest hypolipidemic effect was caused by the KRRKPGP peptide.
