Experimental study on effect of tonifying Kidney herbs on pituitary, ovary, and adrenal gland in androgen sterilized rats
摘要
Objective: To observe the effect of tonifying Kidney herbs (TKH) on pituitary gland
ovary
and adrenal gland of androgen sterilized rats (ASR).Methods: ASR model was established by injecting testosterone propionate subcutaneously to Sprague-Dawley (SD) female rats of 9 days age. Morphological and endocrinological change of pituitary gland
ovary and adrenal gland in rats of 100–107 days old before and after feeding TKH extract were observed by light and electron microscope
cell cultures
immunohistochemical studies
and radioimmunoassay.Results: In the ASR groups
there were intracytoplasmic lipid drops
crinophagy
vacuole
and autophagy in pituitary gland
anovulation in ovary
and hyperplasia of reticular zone in adrenal gland. At the same time
serum follicular stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone decreased (P < 0.05-0.005) and serum testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone levels increased significantly (P < 0.01-0.001). These morphologiacl and endocrinological changes were all returned to normal range after the TKH treatment.
