Pharmacological Action

1. Protein assimilation

The insect metamorphosis steroid hormone contained in this product has a strong effect on promoting egg meat synthesis. About 2 hours after giving mice subhydroxyecdysterone, the incorporation of amino acid precursors in the mouse liver cell nucleus, mitochondria and microsomes increased. The effect was stronger at 4 hours, and its intensity of action was similar to that of 4-chlorotestosterone. At the same time, enhanced protein synthesis was also seen in the kidneys, but returned to its original level after 4 hours. Amaranthone also has a similar effect. Giving mice only 5mcg per day can produce obvious effects without any toxic reactions.

There are three kinds of extracts of this product, namely benzene extract, ethyl acetate extract and alcohol extract. It has anti-fertility and anti-implantation effects on mice.
