SUMMARY A comparative study of the hypolipidemic effect of polysaccharide complexes of blood-red hawthorn leaves Crataegus sanguinea Pall was carried out on the model of hyperlipidemia caused by long-term feeding of Wistar rats with a high-fat diet rich in cholesterol. silver birch leaves and downy birch Betula pendula Roth., Betula pubescens Ehrh. and the aerial part of
alfalfa sowing Medicago sativa L. The addition of birch polysaccharides (1.5%) to the
atherogenic feed led to a decrease in the level of total cholesterol, mainly in the proatherogenic
fraction of low density lipoproteins.
