title: [Effects of liuwei dihuang decoction and its compositions on blood sugar and glycogen in mice].
abstract: We have studied the effects of liuwei dihuang decoction (LDD) and its compositions on blood sugar and glycogen in mice, and found that sanbu, shanzhuyu-danpi and shanyao-fuling matched pairs can reduce the level of blood sugar, while LDD, sanbu, shudi-zexie and shanzhuyu-danpi matched pairs can increase the content of glycogen in liver. The present study is only a preliminary research on the effects of LDD and its compositions on the metabolism of sugar in the body.
