The liver and spleen coefficients increased, indicating that feeding high-fat feed can cause liver injury and spleen injury in rats. As can be seen from the above table, the liver coefficient of the model group is increased compared with that of the blank group, and has significant difference (P < 0.05); compared with the model group, the liver coefficients of the comparative example 1 group and the example 1 group have significant difference (P <0.05), and are respectively reduced by 9.6% and 8.8%.
The spleen index of rats in the flavone extract group, the comparative example 1 group, the comparative example 2 group, the comparative example 4 group and the example 1 group was significantly reduced compared to the model group, and the comparative example 1 group and the example 1 group were very significantly different from the model group.

Notes comparison of P with blank group<0.05,**P<0.01; comparison with model group#P<0.05,##P<0.01。
As can be seen from the above table, the epididymal fat index, perirenal fat index and total fat index of the model group were all increased and statistically significant (P <0.01 or P <0.05) compared to the blank group. Compared with the model group, the comparative example 1 group, the comparative example 2 group, the comparative example 4 group and the example 1 group all have a reduction effect on the perirenal fat factor, and the comparative example 1 group and the example 1 have a very significant difference (P <0.01), which is reduced by 21.3% and 25.1%, respectively, and the comparative example 4 group and the flavone extract group have a significant difference (P < 0.05). And there was a significant difference between the comparative example 4 group and the flavone extract group.
Compared with the model group, the epididymis fat coefficient reduction of each group has very obvious difference (P is less than 0.01), and the total fat coefficient of each group has a reduction effect, but the reduction effect of the group in example 1 is more obvious and is reduced by 21.1%, so that the hawthorn flavone microcapsules prepared in the group in example 1 can have a weight-losing effect.
The tests prove that the addition of the casein phosphopeptide not only improves the embedding rate of the core material and the stability of the microcapsule structure, but also has the synergistic effect with hawthorn flavone. Meanwhile, the synergistic interaction effect between the plant selenium polypeptide and the hawthorn flavone is also proved, in the embodiment 1, the addition amount of the hawthorn flavone is reduced, and the plant selenium polypeptide is added, so that the microcapsule has more excellent effects of resisting oxidation and reducing blood fat than the single hawthorn flavone. Therefore, the hawthorn flavone microcapsule prepared by the invention has better application prospects in the aspects of oxidation resistance and blood fat reduction.
The effects of oxidation resistance and blood fat reduction which are basically the same as those of the embodiment 1 can be achieved within the mass ratio range of other wall material and core material raw materials and within other parameter ranges of process parameters of the preparation method.
The plant selenium polypeptide can be prepared by adopting a commercial product or a conventional extraction method, and has no obvious influence on the efficacy of the prepared hawthorn flavone microcapsule.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents or improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
