[Effects of Storax cultivated in Guangdong on hemorrheology in rats].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the effects of storax cultivated in Guangdong province on hemorrheology in rats and compare with imported storax.

METHODS:

Thrombus weight was measured through thrombogenesis in vivo, platelet aggregation was detected with turbidimetry, blood viscosity was assayed with a blood viscometer and hematocrit was tested with capillary method.

RESULTS:

Storax cultivated in Guangdong could inhibit thrombosis in vivo, reduce blood viscosity and hematocrit, and decrease platelet aggregation. Under the same dose used in this study, the effects of storax cultivated in Guangdong was similar to imported storax.

CONCLUSION:

The effects of storax cultivated in Guangdong on hemorrheology in rats was similar to imported storax.
