Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of flavonoids of Astragalus complanatus(FAC) on D-galactose-induced sub-acute aging in mice. METHODS:The subacute aging mice model were established with the use of D-galactose,and the effect of FAC on the associated indexes in model mice such as enzymes,immune organ indexes,hypoxia tolerance time,swimming time under hypoxic condition etc were recorded. RESULTS:FAC treatment significantly up-regulated the activity of SOD,down-regulated MDA content,markedly increased the spleen index and thymus index,prolonged the surviving and swimming time markedly under anoxia condition. CONCLUSION:FAC has anti-aging effect and it can enhance mice's abil-ity against hypoxia and fatigue,which is probably associated to the enhancement of the nonspecific immunity in mice.
