Objective:To investigate the effects of Gypenosides on shock and nitric oxide levels in rabbits with endotoxin-induecd disseminated intravascular coagulation.Methods:Rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:control,endotoxin (LPS) and endotoxin plus Gypenosides(GPS).The animals were anaethetized with intravenous injection of 20% ethylurethane.Nitric oxide levels were determined by the method of colorimetric analysis.The count of platelet,plasma levels of fibrinogen prothrombin time(PT) and plasma protamine paracoagulation test (PPPT) were determined to evaluate the function of coagulati...
