title: [Effect of congrong powder preparation on erythrocyte parameter and index of blood rheology in rats].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effect of Congrong powder preparation on erythrocyte parameter and the index of blood rheology in healthy rats.
  
  
  METHODS
  The 50 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups ( physiological saline group, testosterone propionate group, large-dose administered group, moderate-dose administered group, small-dose administered group). Blood were taken to determine erythrocyte parameter and the index of blood rheology.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Congrong powder preparation had no effect on erythrocyte parameter. There was an increase in whole blood viscosity, whole blood reduction viscosity, and in the erythrocyte rigidity index in the large-dose administered group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Congrong powder can influence deformability and some related characters of erythrocytes.
