Objective: To observe effects of herbal cake-separated moxibustion on blood lipids, including total cholesterol (TCh), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein-Ch (HDL-Ch), low density lipoprotein-Ch (LDL-Ch), apolipoprotein A (Apo A), apolipoprotein B (Apo B), and plasma thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α) contents and analyse its mechanism. Methods: The hyperlipemia rabbit model was established by breeding of high fat forage and injection of bovine serum albumin. They were treated respectively by continuously for 40 days. Blood TCh and TG contents were detected with enzymatic method, LDL-Ch and HDL-Ch with colorimetric method, Apo A and Apo B with electrophoretic method, and TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α with radioimmunoassay. Results: Both the herbal cake-separated moxibustion and direct moxibustion could effectively decrease TCh, TG, LDL-Ch, Apo B and TXB2 contents and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α, and increase HDL-CH and 6-keto-PGF1α contents in the rabbit of hyperlipemia. Conclusion: 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 are possibly involved in the mechanism of herbal cake-separated moxibustion decreasing blood lipids.
