摘要
Eighty elderly men with symptoms of senility due to deficiency syndrome of the Kidney,but otherwise healthy. were randomly divided into two groups. one group was treated with Wuzi YanzongSolution (WXYZS) and the other with a placebo, each for five weeks. Affer treatment, the symptoms ofsenility were arneliorated as judged by using a scoring method. the activity of the erythrocyte superoxidedismutase was increased. the plasma lipid peroxide content was reduced, the plasma testosterone levelwas raised and the plasma estradiol/testosterone ratio was decreased in the WZYZS group, while nochanges were noticed in the placebo group. The results suggest that WZYZS retards senility in the aged,probably through its action of eliminating free radicals, reducing plasma lipid peroxide levels, elevatingerythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity and regulating sex hormone levels.
