Objective: To investigate the preventive effect of Bushen Huoxue Recipe (BSHXR), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on autoimmune premature ovarian failure (POF) in mice.Methods: Ovarian antigen was prepared with the ovarian tissue of female BALB/c mice. A mouse model of POF was established by immunization injection of the ovarian antigen of isotype female mice on multiple subcutaneous sites and two posterior soles. The POF mice were treated with BSHXR after the first and third immunization. The levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E2) in peripheral blood were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results: Lymphocyte infiltration was appeared in ovarian stroma of POF mice. The levels of FSH and LH were evaluated and the E2 level was decreased significantly (P<0.05). BSHXR could reduce the increased levels of FSH and LH, increase the level of E2 and the number of growing and mature follicles. The efficacy of early treatment was better than that of late treatment.Conclusion: BSHXR can recover ovarian function in POF mice mainly by regulating the indiscriminate hormone level, and BSHXR has preventive effect on autoimmune POF in mice.
