点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Sesaminol is a lignan with beneficial physiological activities derived from sesame. Effects of sesaminol triglycoside on lipid metabolism were investigated in rats. Sessaminol triglycoside was extracted from defatted sesame seed. Sesaminol triglycoside did not affect on serum and liver lipid levels, while sesamin decreased serum triglyceride level. d-Tocopherol contents in the liver were higher in sesaminol and sesamin groups compared to control group. These results suggest that sesaminol triglycoside exerts antioxidative activity as sesamin.
