Note: represent Asarum compare with blank p<0.05. To analyze the toxicity of Asarum to rats after intragastric administration with/without Asarum powders with the detection of organ coefficient, liver and kidney function. The results showed that the above data were all up-regulated after intragastric administration with Asarum powders. That may be induced by the toxicity of Asarum. The data were the means ± standard error of at least three independent experiments. All comparisons were performed with WPS office (kingsoft, China), utilizing unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction. Statistical significance was marked as while p<0.05. represent the significant difference between the Asarum group and control group (p<0.05).
