摘要

The antifatigue effect of the tissue culture of Saussurea involucrata (TCSauI) KAR. et KIR. (Compositae) was investigated in mice on swimming time, hepatic glycogen content, serum lactic acid content, serum urea-nitrogen, and serum lactate dehydrogenase. The current study provides evidence that TCSauI has antifatigue activity, suggesting the potential of the tissue culture technique to substitute for wild S. involucrata (WSauI) in the pharmaceutical industry.
