Objective: To understand the correspondence between syndrome of hyperactivity of liver-yang and the prescriptions of Lingjiao Jiangya Prescription (LJP) and Tianma Gouteng Prescription (TMGTP). Method: Aconium carmichaeli Debx.

ephedrine and salty water were used to establish the rat model of hypertension with syndrome of hyperactivity of liver-yang. Fifty SD rats were divided into five groups

including normal control

model

LJP

TMGTP and Jinkuishenqi Prescription (JKSQP). The medicines were given for 28 days

facial temperature

grip strength

systolic pressure

diastolic pressure and mean arterial pressure were determined per 7 days

and rat temper and coat color were observed per 14 days. Result: On day14

LJP and TMGTP could decrease the facial temperature and the blood pressure. On day21

all three prescriptions could strengthen rat grip strength. On day28

the prescriptions could ameliorate rat coat color

and LJP and TMGTP could keep rats calm. Conclusion: LJP and TMGTP could restrain hyperactivity of liver-yang

ameliorate yin-deficiency

relieve hypertension

and decrease the systolic pressure. So the correspondence between the prescriptions of LJP and TMGTP and hypertension with syndrome of hyperactivity of liver-yang has been confirmed.
