Dyslipidemia is one of the mechanisms of atherosclerosis (AS). Depletion of estrogen plays a key role in the pathogenesis of postmenopausal AS in women, and the blood lipid levels of women are closely related to endogenous estrogen levels. Phytoestrogens (PEs) exert estrogenic effects, including protection against AS, without the adverse effects of estrogen administration. Bazi Bushen capsule (BZBS) is a traditional Chinese medicine herbal compound prescription that has been shown to contain 11 unique PEs. In the present study, we assessed the effects of BZBS against lipid metabolism disorders.
