The results were as follows; 1. There were significant decrease of serum total cholesterol level in 7CH10 group. 2. There were significant decrease of serum total lipid level in 7CH5 group. 3. There were significant decrease of serum total lipid level in 7CH5 group. According to above mentioned results. Chekamhanghyuluiyiin-tang plus Zeae Stigma was expected to be applied to the prevention or treatment of obesity and its complications.
