This research was carried out to investigate the effects of flavonoids ingredient from Polygonum capitatum (FPC) on blood lipid levels, vascular inflammation, and oxidative stress in high-fat diet (HFD) rats, as well as their mechanism of action. Rats fed with HFD for 6 weeks obviously displayed hyperlipidemia ( P &lt; 0.01). Treatment with FPC at 90 and 180 mg/kg body weight significantly increased serum apolipoprotein A (ApoA) and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and decreased serum apolipoprotein B (ApoB), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels of hyperlipidemia rats. FPC also improved the serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities and decreased serum malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels. Meanwhile, the result of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) manifested that FPC upregulated the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor α (PPARα) and downregulated the mRNA expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1C) in the hepatic. These results demonstrated that FPC exerted anti-atherosclerosis effect in hyperlipidemia rats by regulating blood lipid metabolism, improving antioxidant ability, and modulating a proinflammatory profile and the expression levels of genes referred to lipogenesis and lipid oxidation, which might be attributed to flavonoid ingredients such as luteolin-7-O-glucoside, rutin, and quercitrin.
