Meanwhile,the total anti-oxidant capability(T-AOC) activity were detected.Results:After administration of MHD, the mice showed increased oxygen consumption(P0.01).Compared with MHD group,the remaining rate of MXSGD mice on the hot pad was found to be significantly increased with the cold-hot pad differentiating assay (P0.05).There was no significant difference(P0.05) among the remaining rates of MXSGD,MXSGD with high dose Gypsum Fibrosum(MXHGF) group,and MXSGD with low dose Gypsum Fibrosum(MXLGF) group mice.Compared with the MHD group,T-AOC activity of the mice in the Consensus Compositons group was significantly decreased(P=0.0494).Compared with the MXSGD group,T-AOC activity of Gypsum Fibrosum (GF) group was increased significantly(P=0.0013).Conclusions:The differences in cold and hot nature could be represented objectively between MHD with a hot nature and MXSGD with a cold nature.The reason may be the Gypsum Fibrosum which decreased the efficacy of the consensus compositions.However,increasing or decreasing the dose of Gypsum Fibrosum will not change the cold and hot nature of MXSGD.展开更多
