A, cardiotonic effect: 10% rhinoceros horn decoction has cardiotonic effect on toad heart in vivo or in vitro and rabbit heart in vitro, which can enhance myocardial contractility, increase amplitude, accelerate heart rate and increase output per minute. When the dose is increased, the isolated toad heart will have cardiotonic effect, and then it will be poisoned soon, and finally stop in contraction. The hot extract of rhinoceros horn can be used for patients with functional weakness caused by pilocarpine.
B, the effect on blood vessels: Bufo gargarizans with 10% rhinoceros horn soup. The blood flow ratio decreased in a short time, and then gradually increased, exceeding the normal flow rate, suggesting that it dilated the blood vessels of the lower limbs after contraction.
C. Effect on blood pressure: After intravenous injection of rhinoceros horn soup to anesthetized dogs and rabbits, blood pressure first rises, then falls, and then continues to rise. Its antihypertensive effect has little to do with vagus nerve. The phenomenon that its blood pressure rises slightly first and then falls may be related to its blood vessels contracting first and then expanding. Blood pressure continues to rise after recovery, probably because its exciting effect on the heart exceeds its vasodilation effect or the vasodilation effect has been eliminated at this time.
