Objective: To observe the effect of herbal-cake-separated moxibustion on the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 in hyparlipemia (HLP) rabbits with concomitant aterosclerosis (AS) so as to explore the mechanism of moxibustion in improving HLP. Methods, Seventy-five New Zealand species rabbits were divided into control (n = 13), model (n = 14), direct-rnoxibustion (n = 14), herbal-cake-separated moxibustion (n = 14), and medication ("Xuezhikang", a herbal drug for lowering blood lipid, n = 13) groups. HLP wi...
