Liuwei Dihuang Decoction (LWDH) can noticeably increase the rate of Mφ Ia expression in rats. The rate of increase was similar to that in the positive control group treated with Jinseng Saponin. In the rats with yin-deficiency due to im. CORT
their Ia expression was suppressed
while LWDH prescription can also significantly improve the rate of Mφ Ia expression. The three tonic herbs in LWDH prescription were responsible for improving the Mφ Ia expression. The other three purgative herbs had no direct effect on the normal and model rats if used separately
however
if used in combination with the three tonic herbs in the prescription
they can noticeably increase the rate of Mφ Ia expression.
