title: [Effects of antioxidation and ceramide of improved prescription of didang-tang (IPDT) on exprimental atherosclerosis rabbits].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effects of antioxidation and ceramide content of improved prescription of Didang-tang (IPDT) on exprimental atherosclerosis(AS) rabbits.
  
  
  METHODS
  Plasm Superoxide Dismutase(SOD) activity was detected with micro-content fast detecting method, Plasm Malondialdehyde(MDA) content with improved BaMuGuoFu method, and Aortic Ceramide (CER) content with thinlayer scanning.
  
  
  RESULTS
  IPDT could effectivly improve plasma SOD activity and decrease plasma MDA content and decrease aortic CER content.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  IPDT on exprimental AS is related to the improvement of antioxidation and decrease of CER content.
