[Effects of Maidang Rutong granule on l-dopa-induced galactozemia in rats].
OBJECTIVE
To study galactagogue effect of Maidang Rutong granule on the lactation rats.


METHODS
The experiments were designed to observe the efficiency of Maidang Rutong granule on lactescence, serum prolactin, and morphology of mammary gland with rat galactozemia model established by injecting l-dopa.


RESULTS
Maidang Rutong granule showed significant enhancement for lactescence and the offspring's body weight. It could antagonize the decrease of serum prolactin and the atrophy of mammary gland induced by l-dopa.


CONCLUSIONS
Maidang Rutong granule exhibited significant galactagogue effect on the l-dopa-induced galactozemia in rats.
