Abstract： Objective To find the mechanism of Heshouwuyin(HSWY) in anti-aging, so as to provide theoretical and experiment evidence for the application of HSWY. Methods 50 eight-week female SD rats ( SPF degree)were used in this study. The rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group, 10 rats; model group,10 rats; HSWY anti-aging group, including low, middle and high dose group,10 rats in each group. The sub-acutely aging rats were made by ip injection of D-galactose for 60 days continually. The rats in HSWY groups were administered with various doses of intragastric HSWYduring D-galactose injection. The parameters of ovary levels of SOD,GSH-PX, TAOC were detected. Results The MDA in ovaries of model rats was significantly higher than that of negative control group;while the SOD, GSH-PX, TAOC of model rats were significantly lower than negative control group.The MDA content in ovaries after taking HSWY was significantly lower than that of model rats; while the SOD, GSHPX,TAOC of the taking HSWY rats was significantly higher than that of model rats. Conclusion The HSWY could increase antioxida tive activity of rat ovaries to stay D-galactose induced consenescence.
