To study the growth promoting effect of ant Polyrhachis Vicina Roger.
Mated rats were divided into 3 groups, group A was non-smoking control group, group B was smoking induced intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) group, group C was smoking induced IUGR rats fed with ant Polyrhachis Vicina Roger, then growth indices of fetal rats in each group were evaluated.
The result showed that, the average birth weight, body length and tail length of fetal rats in treatment group were significantly higher than those of two control groups (P < 0.01); the incidence of IUGR was significantly lower in treatment group than that of two control groups (P < 0.01); the fetal mortality rate was significantly lower in treatment group than that of two control groups (P < 0.01).
Ant Polyrhachis Vicina Roger is rich in amino acids, vitamines and trace elements, which could help the growth of fetal rats. Polyrhachis Vicina Roger is also rich in ecdysterone, that is growth hormone of insects, it has a strong protein anabolic effect, which might contribute to the growth promoting effect of Polyrhachis Vicina Roger.
研究拟黑多刺蚁促进生长的作用。
将受孕大鼠分为3组，A组为非吸烟对照组，B组为吸烟诱导的宫内生长迟缓（IUGR）组，C组为吸烟诱导的IUGR大鼠并喂食拟黑多刺蚁，然后评估每组胎鼠的生长指标。
结果显示，治疗组胎鼠的平均出生体重、体长和尾长显著高于两个对照组（P<0.01）；治疗组IUGR的发生率显著低于两个对照组（P<0.01）；治疗组的胎鼠死亡率显著低于两个对照组（P<0.01）。
拟黑多刺蚁富含氨基酸、维生素和微量元素，有助于胎鼠生长。拟黑多刺蚁还富含蜕皮甾酮，即昆虫的生长激素，具有很强的蛋白质合成代谢作用，这可能有助于拟黑多刺蚁发挥促进生长的作用。
