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.
