Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To verify the effects of perilla oil on the regulation of blood lipid levels in patients with hyperlipidemia.METHODS:Blood was taken from patients prior to and 8 weeks following treatment with perilla oil.Different ways to test for indexes which correlate to hyperlipidemia were performed.Some indexes,which correlate with inflammation and injury to endothelial cells,were tested using enzyme linked immunosorbent assays.RESULTS:Serum lipid levels [triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C)] changed significantly after 56 days of treatment.Differences were noted as early as 28 days after treatment began(P
