Yes. Testing of the effects of gypenosides on the serum lipids showed that gypenosides lowered serum LDL (low density lipoprotein) thus reducing blood cholesterol and triglycerides, whereas they increased serum HDL protecting the arteries against arteriosclerosis. As for the exact mechanism by which gypenosides act on lipid metabolism, further studies are needed.
