γ-Elemene
γ-Elemene ((-)-γ-Elemene) is a lipid-lowering agent. γ-Elemene increases superoxide dismutase (SOD). γ-Elemene reduces the expression of adhesion molecules (VCAM-1, ICAM-1) in cells damaged by H2O2. γ-Elemene regulates lipid peroxidation. γ-Elemene protects cells from peroxidative damage induced by high fat and H2O2. γ-Elemene decreases lipid content. γ-Elemene can be used in the research of atherosclerosis.

Biological Activity
γ-Elemene and (-)-γ-Elemene (1 μg/mL; 24 h) exert antioxidant protective effects against H2O2-induced oxidative damage in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The increase rates of superoxide dismutase (SOD) induced by them are 23.75% and 22.45%, respectively, while the decrease rates of malondialdehyde (MDA) are 35.22% and 36.82%, respectively[1].
(-)-γ-Elemene (24 h) reduces the expression of adhesion factors in H2O2-injured HUVEC cells, with a reduction rate of 22.87% for VCAM-1 and 15.58% for ICAM-1[1].
(-)-γ-Elemene (24 h) reduces intracellular lipid levels in free fatty acid (FFA)-loaded HepG2 cells, with a triglyceride (TG) reduction rate of 21.39% and a non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) reduction rate of 16.43%[1].
