Microcirculatory Disorders and Protective Role of Xuebijing in Severe Heat Stroke

This study was conducted to explore underlying mechanism of microcirculation dysfunction and protectiverole of Xuebijing in heat stroke. Forty rats were divided into: control, vehicle + heat stress (HS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) + HS, and Xuebijing + HS groups. Rats in heat stress groups were subjected to continuous heat stress in infant incubator 1 h after tail vein injection of the tested compound and spinotrapezius preparation. Velocity of...
