Antelope horn benefits

When it comes to the efficacy of antelope horns, many people may be scared to death, because Tibetan antelopes are a national first-class protected animal, and killing them at will will result in imprisonment, so even if you know the efficacy of antelope horns, it is useless. In fact, the so-called antelope horns refer to the horns of Tibetan antelopes, which are what many unscrupulous hunters want to get, because they can sell them for a good price. This also indirectly shows that antelope horns have great benefits.

Tibetan antelopes live on the grassland and lead a group life. Originally, this group of Tibetan antelopes lived a peaceful life, but some people came to harm them for profit. In fact, Tibetan antelopes are very smart animals, but no matter how smart they are, they will inevitably be hunted. Therefore, there are fewer and fewer Tibetan antelopes in reality, which leads to fewer antelope horns. Here is an introduction to the benefits of antelope horn.

Effect on the central nervous system: The extract of antelope horn skin can reduce the directional movement response of mice, has an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system, can accelerate the onset of barbiturate and ether anesthesia, and significantly reduce the sensitivity to pentamethyltetrazolyl, strychnine, and electric shock, but does not cause muscle relaxation. Oral administration of antelope horn decoction 10g/kg to mice can significantly reduce the rate of convulsions caused by caffeine and accelerate its recovery rate, reducing the mortality rate.

Intraperitoneal injection of 10g/kg of antelope horn alcohol extract, 2g/kg of decoction, and 80mg/kg of hydrolyzate to mice can prolong the sleep time of sodium thiopental. Intraperitoneal injection of 80mg/kg of antelope horn injection to mice can also prolong the sleep time of sodium pentobarbital.
