[Identification of volatile components in rat urine after oral administration of "wu-hu-tang"].
OBJECTIVE
To identify the volatile components in rat urine after oral administration of "Wu-Hu-Tang" (WHT).


METHODS
GC-MS technique was applied to analyzing urine samples.


RESULTS
Eighteen components were detected in the WHT-treated rat urine other than the corresponding control. Among them, 14 components were identified, and 7 were also found in the extract of WHT.


CONCLUSIONS
The above detected components might be derived from WHT, and some of them are effective components of WHT.
