Objective: To observe the effect of Shengtaiwang potion on the activity of anti-stress and superoxide dismutase (SOD)

malondialdehyde (MDA) in blood serum

and then investigate its role in delaying senility and mechanism involved. Method: Mice were randomly divided into control group (saline)

5

2.5 g·kg-1·d-1 groups of Shengtaiwang potion (oral administration). Then the tests of hypoxia resistance in nomal pressure

fatigue resistance (anti-tire swimming) and anti-chilling were performed. The content of MDA and activity of SOD in blood serum was also determined in each group

reapectively. Result: Compared with control group

Shengtaiwang potion could significantly increase the activity of SOD and decrease the concent of MDA in serum; and improve the ability of anti-hypoxia

anti-fatigue and anti-chilling

owing to extending the time of hypoxia resistance and anti-tire swimming in nomal pressure

decreasing the mortality in hypothermia

respectively. Conclusion: Shengtaiwang potion can improve the ability of anti-stress

had well anti-oxidation in vivo

and then delayed senility.
