title: [Effect of Phragmites communis polysaccharide on the aged-model mice].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effect of Phragmites communis polysaccharide on aging mice induced by injections of D-gulactose.
  
  
  METHODS
  Aging mice were used as experimental objective.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Phragmizes communis polysaccharide could obviously increase the activity of CAT, SOD, GSH-PX in blood, lower the levels of LPO in plasma and the thick liquid made of grinding the tissues of brain and liver, and markedly resist the atrophy of the thymus, spleen and brain tissues of aging mice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Phragmites communis polysaccharide has good anti-aging actions.
