Group I was the group of animal model of Yang deficiency; Group II was the ikaclomine treatment group; Group III was the high dosage treatment group; Group IV was the low dosage group; Group V normal rabbit treated with distilled water. The functional effect of gonadal axis was evaluated by the changes of the signs of animal histomorphology of ovary and uterus, and the level of beta-endorphin.

The content of beta-endorphin in blood plasma in group I was 106.6 pg/ml, which was lower than those in the other groups (P < 0.05), and the contents of beta-endorphin in blood plasma, in group III, IV and II were similar to that in group V (P < 0.05).
