In a dose-dependent study, the lowering effects of T5 on TG and TC were progressively enhanced with increasing doses administered. Further studies revealed that T5 had a hypolipidemic significant effect on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hyperlipidemia mouse model, with substantial reductions in TG, TC, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, and a significant reduction in aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in the liver, which had a protective effect on the liver. The of liver pathology showed that T5 could effectively inhibit lipid accumulation as well as inflammatory infiltration in the liver, thus reducing the degree of liver tissue damage. The expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α), which regulates lipid metabolism, was significantly upregulated in liver tissues.
