It can also reduce the pathological degree of arteriosclerosis. But the cholesterol-lowering effect is not obvious; It can also increase the total lipid content in serum, which may be that unsaturated fatty acids can combine with cholesterol to form esters, the latter is easy; Transport, metabolism and excretion. The experiment of exolith dissolution of crude extract of Pinus elliottii shows that Pinus elliottii has [3] effect on cholesterol and mixed gallstones with more cholesterol, and the residual particles are smaller and less; For mixed stones with more bile pigment, the dissolution time is prolonged and more particles are left. Yes, but pigment stones are insoluble.
