八仙胶囊生精壮阳作用的实验研究

目的 :考察八仙胶囊的生精壮阳作用及可能机制。　方法 :实验动物 (大鼠或小鼠 )随机分为 5组 :空白对照组、八仙胶囊组 (2 .5、7.5、2 2 .5g/kg)和阳性对照组 ,连续灌胃给药 14d后 ,用放免法测定低龄大鼠血清睾酮、皮质醇含量 ;称重大鼠睾丸、附睾、精囊腺 前列腺和包皮腺重量 ,计算其脏器系数 ;观察小鼠睾丸间质细胞和精子数目的变化 ;测定给药后电刺激雄性去势大鼠阴茎勃起的时间及正常大鼠性交的次数和频率。　结果 :八仙胶囊能显著提高低龄大鼠血清睾酮和皮质醇的含量 ,增加睾丸、附睾、精囊腺 前列腺及包皮腺的脏器系数 ,显著增加低龄小鼠精子数和睾丸间质细胞数量 ,抑制去势大鼠阴茎勃起潜伏期的延长 ,提高大鼠交配能力。　结论 :八仙胶囊具有生精壮阳作用 ,该作用可能与药物促进下丘脑 垂体 性腺和肾上腺皮质系统功能有关。

Experimental Study on Spermatogenic and Strengthening Yang Action of Baxian Capsule

Objective: To discuss spermatogenic and strengthening yang action of Baxian(BX) capsule and its possible mechanism.Methods: Rats or mice were divided randomly into five groups:control group, Baxian groups( 2.5 g/kg, 7.5 g/kg, 22.5 g/kg) and positive group. After the drug had been given for 14 days, the levels of serum testosterone and cortisol in the low aged rats were measured by radioimmunoassay. The coefficient of the reproductive organs in rats, the quantity of sperm and interstitial cells in mice were investigated, and the change of the latency time of penis erection in castrated rats, the capture and ejaculation in normal rats were observed at the same time. Results: BX capsule could obviously raise the concentration of serum testosterone and cortisol, and the coefficient of sex organ in rats, and increase the number of sperm and interstitial cells in mice. Also, it could improve the penis erection and sexual ability of the male rats. Conclusions: The spermatogenic and strengthening yang action of BX capsule could be attributed to the improvement of the actions of the axis of lower thalamus hypophysis sexual gland and the axis of lower thalamus hypophysis adrenal cortex.
