RESUMO
Objective To observe the effects of Marigold lutein on the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the respiratory system of experimental animals. Methods The influence on blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiogram, breathing flow and frequency in anesthetic dogs were observed after duodenum euonymus, and the impact on spontaneous activity, coordinated movement, and the sleep situation of threshold dose and sunthreshold dose pentobarbital sodium in mice were observed by intragastric administration of Marigold lutein. Results Marigold lutein had no side effects on breathing flow and frequency, blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiogram in anesthetic dog, and had no obvious influence on spontaneous activity and coordinated movement in mice. Marigold lutein did not evidently change the number and the time of sleeping in mice. Conclusion Marigold lutein has no evident effects on respiratory system, cardiovascular system and central nervous system of experimental animals.
