An agent for treating arteriosclerosis, which contains as effective ingredient cycloartenol ferulate, a component of $g(g)-oryzanol. This agent shows excellent effects of lowering a total cholesterol level, a free cholesterol level, a neutral fat level, and a phospholipid level, and raising an HDL-cholesterol level (believed to be an arteriosclerosis alleviating factor) to remarkably reduce arteriosclerosis index with less liver troubles. |
