GPS decreased serum uric acid levels in hyperuricemic rats (n=8). NC – normal control; LE – Lipid Emulsion contained high cholesterol and high fat food group; APC – Lipid Emulsion with positive control of Allopurinol group; BPC – Lipid Emulsion with positive control Benzobromarone group; GPS-H – Lipid Emulsion with high dose of Gypenosides (60 mg/kg body weight); GPS-L – Lipid Emulsion with low dose of Gypenosides (15 mg/kg body weight). The effect of GPS on serum UA was detected at 4 (A), 6 (B), 8 (C) weeks after administration. The data were expressed as mean ±SD. ^# P<0.05; ^## P<0.01, compared with normal control group; * P<0.05; ** P<0.01, compared with Lipid Emulsion group.
