目的 探讨补肾中药对地塞米松（ＤＸＭ）所致实验性骨质疏松（ＯＰ）大鼠卵巢功能的影响。方法 采用放射免疫分析方法对正常对照组、病理对照组、中药治疗组大鼠生长激素（ＧＨ）、黄体生成素（ＬＨ）、卵胞生成素（ＦＳＨ）、雌二醇（Ｅ２）、孕酮（Ｐ）、睾酮（Ｔ）和泌乳素（ＰＲＬ）的水平进行比较。并对三组大鼠卵巢、子宫分别称湿重和进行组织开矿学观察。结果 病理对照组与正常对照组大鼠比较ＧＨ、ＬＨ、ＦＳＨ、Ｅ２和Ｐ

Effect of kidney-replenishing herbs on ovarian function of dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis in rats]

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Kidney-replenishing herbs (KRH) on ovarian function of experimental rats with dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis (OP). METHODS: Radioimmunoassay was used to analyse blood level of growth hormone (GH), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), testosterone (T) and prolactin (PRL) of animals and data of three groups, the normal control group, the pathologic control group (non-treated OP model) and the treated group (model rats treated with KRH) were compared. Weight and histomorphological features of ovary and uterus of the rats were also observed. RESULTS: As compared with the normal control group, levels of GH, LH, FSH, E2 and P in the pathologic control group were significantly lowered (P < 0.05), and the weight of ovary and uterus decreased (P < 0.05). In comparison of the treated group and the pathologic group, GH, LH, FSH, E2 and P levels were significantly higher and weight of ovary and uterus heavier in the treated group (P < 0.05). No obvious changes occurred in T and PRL levels. KRH showed markedly improving effect on the ovarian and uterine morphological construction of rats. CONCLUSIONS: KRH could elevate the level of GH, LH, FSH, E2 and P, increase the weight and improve the histomorphologic features of ovary and uterus in OP rats, it demonstrated that KRH has therapeutic effect in treating dexamethasone-induced OP rats.
