title: [Effect of liuwei dihuang decoction and its additives on boosting spermatogenesis in spermatogenesis obstruction rat].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effect of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction (LDD) and its additives on boosting the spermatogenesis in spermatogenesis obstruction rat.
  
  
  METHODS
  The model of spermatogenesis obstruction of rat was made with gossypol acetate. Boosting spermatogenesis of LDD and its additives was studied by observing the number and quality of sperm.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The sperm quantity of LDD and its additives in treated group is significantly different from model group, and higher than that of positive group. The sperm quality of treated group is better than that of model group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  LDD and its additives could rise the quantity and quality of spermatogenesis obstruction rat.
