pubmed-article:1517976 | pubmed:abstractText | The antipyretic effects of oral administration of eight traditional Chinese medicines (dried extracts) were tested in febrile rabbits injected with bacterial pyrogen, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 0.05 micrograms/kg (i.v.). The traditional Chinese medicines were given 0.6-2 g/10 ml/kg (p.o.) simultaneously with LPS. The most potent antipyretic effect was observed in Dai-jyoki-to (Ta-chen-chi-tang). The moderate antipyretic effects were observed in Toki-syakuyaku-san (Tang-kuei-shao-yao-san) and Syo-saiko-to (Hssiao-chai-hu-tang). Koso-san (Hsiang-su-san), Oren-gedoku-to (Huang-lien-chieh-tu-tan), Gorei-san (Wu-ling-san), Kakkon-to (Ko-ken-tang) and Byakkoka-ninjin-to (Pai-hu-chia-jen-sheng-tang) showed no effects. | lld:pubmed |
