Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of black rice outer layer fraction(BRF)on CD 4 + T, CD 8 + T lymphocyte expression in apoE-deficient mice and find the possible mechanism of BRF in anti-atherogenesis.
Methods CD 4 +T and CD 8 +T lymphocyte expression in aortic sinus and atherosclerotic lesion area in aortic sinus were assessed by immunohistochemistry and image analysis, respectively.
Results BRF inhibited CD 4 +T lymphocyte expression and atherosclerotic lesion area in aortic sinus.
Conclusion BRF dramatically reduced CD 4 +T lymphocyte expression and this effect maybe related to its antiatherogenesis.
