Abstract:
We studied a species of Haima-the Sea Horse Hippocampus japonicus (SHHJ). After SHHJ was given to male rats orally for twenty days. The plasma concentration of testosterone,LH and FSH was assayed by RIA,and the histological change in seminal vesicles and prostate gland was observed. It has been showed that SHHJ can obviously elevate plasma level of testosterone and improve the histological change of seminal vesicles and prostate gland in castrated rats. but there was no affect in LH、FSH. SHHJ can obviously promoted the content of testosterone of plasma and can obviously enhance the weight of the normal rat's prostate gland,seminal vesicle.
