[Effects of radix morindae from different processed products on anti-hypoxia and reproductive system of mice].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of Radix Morindae from different processed products on anti-hypoxia and reproductive system of mice.


METHODS
The experimental study on anti-hypoxia was through the anti-anoxia action under normal-pressure, sodium nitrite poisoning and acute cerebral ischemia anoxia test; the experimental study on reproductive system was through observing the testis weight of immature male mice and the development of accessory sex organs in castrated mice.


RESULTS
Both Radix Morindae of drying product and salt product could markedly increase the mice breathing time under acute cerebral ischemia anoxia, the salt product also could markedly increase the breathing frequency, prolong the mice survival time under atmospheric hypoxia and increase the testis weight of immature male mice.


CONCLUSIONS
Both Radix Morindae of drying product and salt product can enhance anti-hypoxia and reproductive system of mice, and the effect of the salt product was superior to the drying product.
