作者在“中药抗衰老作用”的研究中,发现中药何首乌可使老年小鼠胸腺不致萎缩,甚至可保持年轻时的水平。由于动物胸腺自然萎缩需要一定的时间,为此,我们采用喂以中药柴胡煎剂或注射氢化可的松使小鼠胸腺萎缩的办法,以期达到在短期内观察中药何首乌对胸腺以及肾上腺影响的目的。同时,观察药物对小鼠代谢的作用,初步测定了小鼠体内超氧化物歧化酶(简称(SOD)和血清蛋白成分。 In the study of “anti-aging effects of traditional Chinese medicine,” the authors found that the Chinese medicine Polygonum multiflorum can not shrink the thymus of old mice and even maintain the level of youthfulness. Since it takes a certain period of time for animal thymus to shrink naturally, for this purpose, we use the method of feeding Chinese herbal decoction or injecting hydrocortisone to make mice thymus atrophy, in order to observe the effect of Radix Polygoni Multiflori on thymus and adrenal glands in a short period of time. purpose. At the same time, the effects of drugs on mouse metabolism were observed, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and serum protein components in mice were initially determined.
