The changes in the weight of rat’s sex organ and serum estrogen (E2) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels after injecting the elhanol extract of G-ecko (a kind of Chinese Medicinal Herb) were observed. The results indicate that G.gecko may increase the weight of rat’s ovary and uterus (P<C0.05)
and significantly elevate the level of Ei(P<0.01) and decrease the level of FSH(P<0.05). When the G.gccko extract was given at the different phases in oestrous cycle
the changes of the three items mentioned above were different. We consider that G
gecko may directly
act on the sex organs
promote the ovary to secrete more E3 and in turn product a negative feedback to depress the FSH secretion
