OBJECTIVE To compare the pharmacodynamic effects of Sanfang Yizi Prescription with different kidney-tonifying prescriptions in the adenine-induced kidney-yang deficiency polyuria model in rats.METHODS Rats with kidney-yang deficiency polyuria were induced by adenine intragastric administration for 4 weeks, and 2 weeks after modeling, the rats were respectively given Sanfang Yizi Prescription, Suoquanwan, Erjingwan, and Shuilu Erxiandan liquid. After treatment, the daily behavior of each group was observed, the nocturnal and daily urine of each group was recorded, and the levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine in urine were detected. The levels of urea nitrogen, creatinine, aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone were measured. The liver, kidney, spleen and testis were weighed and the organ indices were calculated.RESULTS Compared with those in the blank group, the rats in the model group showed slow weight gain, bowed back and curling up, dull and sparse fur, and reduced voluntary activities, and the nocturnal urine volume, daily urine volume, organ index and biochemical indexes were significantly different (P<0.05), indicating that the model of kidney-yang deficiency polyuria was successfully replicated. After 4 weeks of drug administration, compared with those in the model group, the nocturnal urine volume and daily urine volume in Sanfang Yizi Prescription group decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the effects were significantly better than those in the other drug groups, while the nocturnal urine volume and daily urine volume in the other drug groups showed no significant difference (P>0.05); the urinary level of urea nitrogen and creatinine in each drug group increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, there was no significant difference (P>0.05), among which the effects were most obvious in Sanfang Yizi Prescription group. The serum levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine decreased significantly and the levels of aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone increased significantly (P<0.05) in each drug administration group, and only the serum indicators in Sanfang Yizi Prescription group showed no significant differences compared with those in the blank group (P>0.05). The organ index, kidney appearance and kidney HE section results of rats in each drug administration group showed different degrees of improvement, among which the best improvement was observed in Sanfang Yizi Prescription group.CONCLUSION The pharmacodynamic effect of Sanfang Yizi Prescription in rats with kidney-yang deficiency polyuria is significant, which is superior to that of Suoquanwan, Erjingwan and Shuilu Erxiandan liquid.
