? Objective To investigate the effect of Wuzi Yangzong pill and its disassembled prescription on skeletal muscle mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) deletion,respiratory chain complexes and ATP synthesis in aged rats.Methods By using PCR,enzyme kinetics and bioluminescence technique.Results The deletion of skeletal muscle mtDNA increased significantly in 24 month old rats compared with 1 and 6 month old rats,and the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅳ and ATP synthesis decreased significantly in 24 month old rats compared with 6 month old rats ( P 0 05,0 01).Wuzi Yanzong pill and its disassembled prescriptin of Fructus Lycii(wolfberry Fruit)and Semen Cusuctae(Dodder seed) could reduce the mitochondrial DNA deletions and raise the ativities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅳ in aged rats( P 0 05,0 01),Wuzi Yanzong pill could also raise the mitochondrial ATP synthesis in aged rat skeletal muscle( P 0 05).Conclusions Wuzi Yanzong pill,Fructus lycii and Semen Cusuctae have protective effect on oxidative damage of skeletal muscle mitochondrial DNA in aged rats.
