title: [Experimental study of warming and recuperating kidney yang by you-gui-yin].
abstract: Yang deficiency animal models were induced by hydrocortisone 1 mg/day for 7-day to male mice. Then these model mice of experimental group were perfused by gastrogavage with 0.5 ml You-gui-yin (YGY) solution, the control group 0.5 ml normal saline 10-day. The plasma circular nucleotide and cortisol were radioimmunoassay by r-immune counter. The content of cAMP of experimental group was 144.24 +/- 33.35 pmol/ml, the control group 109.11 +/- 31.98 pmol/ml (P less than 0.05). The contents of cGMP were 28.39 +/- 10.22 and 45.39 +/- 15.33 pmol/ml respectively (P less than 0.05). The contents of cortisol were 12.42 +/- 2.21 and 8.96 +/- 1.19 micrograms/dl respectively (P less than 0.05). On the other hand YGY to the model mice could raised the living ability at low temperature. The results suggested that YGY had the effect of adjusting system circular nucleotide and promoting the secretion of adrenal cortex.
