[Experimental studies of Chinese taihe chicken on effects of "Qi" reinforcing and "Yin" nourishing].

Abstract

The "Qi" deficiency and "Yin" deficiency rats were fed with Chinese Taihe Chicken or common Chicken. The results showed: Chinese Taihe Chicken and common Chicken could all improve in part the "Qi" deficiency of rats caused by forced swimming, furthermore, the effect of Chinese Taihe Chicken was better than that of common Chicken. Chinese Taihe Chicken could obviously reduce the activity of adenosine triphosphatase of kidney tissue of "Yin" deficiency rats caused by injecting thyroxine. It suggested that Chinese Taihe Chicken could nourish the "Yin".
