Objective To explore the dynamic change of the phlegm-stais in the rat atherosclerotic model as the time going on. Methods Adopting high fat forage fed to develop the atherosclerotic model in rats, and the changes of blood lipid, hemorrheology, blood glucose, insulin and vascular smooth muscle cell index of apoptosis at various time points after modeling. Results Apoptosis gradually increased along with the change of model rats, syndrome from phlegm to stasis, the change of parameters, including blood lipid, hemorrheologic parameters, blood glucose, insulin and insulin sensitive indexes along ...
