Treatment of MRL-lpr/lpr mice with Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f (TWHf) to evaluate its effects on mortality, renal disease, and arthritis.
Mice were fed water (group A, control), TWHf (group B), or first water and then TWHf (group C) from age 7 weeks until age 21 weeks.
Arthritis and glomerulonephritis were decreased in groups B and C mice, and survival was increased in group B mice.
TWHf decreases the mortality rate, and severity of glomerulonephritis and arthritis in MRL-lpr/lpr mice.
用雷公藤(TWHf)治疗MRL-lpr/lpr小鼠,以评估其对死亡率、肾脏疾病和关节炎的影响。
从7周龄到21周龄,给小鼠分别喂水(A组,对照组)、雷公藤(B组)或先喂水后喂雷公藤(C组)。
B组和C组小鼠的关节炎和肾小球肾炎减轻,B组小鼠的存活率提高。
雷公藤降低了MRL-lpr/lpr小鼠的死亡率、肾小球肾炎和关节炎的严重程度。
