title: [Effect of guchijianzhou decoction on antioxidation in aged mice].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the antioxidation effect of Guchijianzhou decoction in aged mice.
  
  
  METHODS
  The Guchijianzhou decoction was given to aged mice by gastric intubation and compared with a group of young mice and a group of aged mice giving tape water. The LPO, SOD and CAT level were examined.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were significant differences as the experimental group was campared with the control groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results show that Guchijianzhou decoction is effective in antioxidation and against danage by free radical. It can reinforce antibacterial function and is benificial in the restoration of periodontal health.
