Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of Additive Foshousan(AFSS) on the serum levels of estradiol and progesterone in rats with primary dysmenorrhea. Methods SD rats were divided into six groups, each 10. Group 1 was normal control , groups 2,3 and 4 were treated with low, middle and high dose of AFSS(0.75, 1.5 and 3.0 g/kg) respectively, group 5 as positive controls was treated with Yuanhuzhitong tablets (1 mg/kg)and group 6 served as model control. Except the normal control group, all rats were injected diethylstilbestrol and oxytocin to establish primary dysmenorrhea model. The levels of estradiol(E2)and progesterone(P) in rats serum was determined by ELISA method and the ratio of E2/P was calculated. Results In middle and high dose of AFSS groups, the level of E2(48.27±6.42)pg/L,(47.51±7.03)pg/L respectively were lower than that in model group(54.47±9.12)pg/L and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). In low dose of AFSS group, the level of E2 was(50.83±6.26)pg/L and the difference was no statistically significant compared with model group. In all doses of AFSS groups,The content of P(687.41±21.14)ng/L, (720.47±41.03)ng/L, (719.78±32.01)ng/L respectively were higher than that in the model control group (667.32±46.51)ng/L and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05 or<0.01). In middle and high dose of AFSS groups, the content of P were higher than that of Yuanhu-Zhitong tablets group(699.31±36.31)and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion To reduce the content of E2, increase of P the content and decrease ratio of E2/P is one of the mechanism for AFSS to treat primary dysmenorrhea.
