ABSTRACT

AIM: Shengdeye is a kind of medicinal wine. It is fermented with 30 kinds of medicinal herbs such as glossy ganoderma, pilose antler, panax, medlar and sorghum. This study aimed to observe the effects of Shengdeye on anti-fatigue and memory in mice.METHODS: The mice were fed with Shengdeye 5 ml*kg-1 and 2.5 ml*kg-1 2 times per day. After 7 days, the mice were examined on anoxia-resistant and swimming test for anti-fatigue and step down test for memory.RESULTS: The anoxia-resistant of shengdege group was apparently longer than that of the control group ［(29.60±1.36) min vs (24.40±3.13) min, P＜0.01］, and the swimming time was sharply increased ［(142.6±53.8) min for 2.5 ml*kg-1 and (162.9±43.5) min for 5 ml*kg-1 vs (94.9±39.1) min, P＜0.05］. The error times of shengdege group was lower than that of the control ［(1.5±1.4) times and (2.3±1.3) times vs (3.7±1.1) times， P＜0.01］. The delitescence of two group were sharply prolonged ［(136.8±50.1) s, and (128.0±41.5) s vs (50.2±42.9) s， P＜0.01］.CONCLUSION: The results indicated that Shengdeye had an anti-fatigne effect and increased the faculty of memory. The experiment of acute toxicity showed that the medicinal herbs in Shyengdeye were safe.
