[Effect of Phragmites communis polysaccharide on the aged-model mice].
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.
