AIM: To investigate the effects of gypenosides(GPS) on hemodynamics and nitric oxide levels in rabbits with endotoxin induced disseminated intravascular coagulation. METHODS: Rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, control, endotoxin (LPS), and endotoxin plus gypenosides. The animals were anaethetized with intravenous injection of 20% ethyl urethane. Nitric oxide levels were determined by the method of colorimetric analysis. The parameters of hemodynamics were measured by SMUP-A, a bioinfomatic processor. The count of platelet, plasma ...
