Effect of Different Fractions of Cistanches Herba Extracting in Improving Sexual Ability of Kidney-Yang Deficiency Rats
Objective:To observe the effect of extracts from on the sexual performance of rats with kidney-Yang deficiency induced by hydrocortisone. Method:Fifty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group
kidney-Yang deficiency model group
Cistanches Herba total oligosaccharide group
Cistanches Herba total polysaccharide group
and Cistanches Herba total phenylethanol glycosides
with 10 in each group. The animal model of kidney-Yang deficiency was prepared through intramuscular injection with hydrocortisone for 14 consecutive days. The medication groups were given aqueous solutions of total oligosaccharides of Cistanches Herba(103.28 mg·kg-1)
total polysaccharides of Cistanches Herba (115.64 mg·kg-1)
and total glycosides of phenylethanol of Cistanches Herba (201.48 mg·kg-1)
according to the dose of 2.3 g·kg-1 of Cistanches Herba raw material once a day. After 14 days
erectile latency
indexes of mating ability (including capture latency
the number of captures
the ejaculation latency
the number of ejaculations)
organ wet weight and berry sugar content
plasma cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate(cGMP) ratio
serum hormone testosterone (T)
estradiol (E2)
and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
luteinizing hormone (LH) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) levels were determined in each group of rats
and the testicular morphological changes were observed. Result:The extracts from different fractions of Cistanches Herba had the effect on erectile function
mating ability
organ wet weight and berry sugar content
plasma cAMP/cGMP value
serum hormone level
and testicular pathological changes in rats with kidney-Yang deficiency. Particularly
the extracts of total phenylethanol glycosides had the best effect
and could significantly reduce the erectile latency (P<0.05) and capture latency (P<0.01)
significantly increase the times of capture (P<0.01)
testis (P<0.05)
seminal vesicles (P<0.01) wet weight and berry sugar content (P<0.05)
and significantly improve pathological morphology of testis in rats. Conclusion:Extracts from different fractions of Cistanches Herba can regulate hormone levels in rats with kidney-Yang deficiency induced by hydrocortisone and further improve their sexual ability. The total glycosides of phenylethanol can significantly improve the indexes related to sexual performance in rats with kidney-Yang deficiency.
