The role of dodder:

1. Aphrodisiac effect

Experiments have shown that Cuscuta has the effect of improving the sexual vitality of fruit flies and significantly increasing their mating rate. The strength of its effect is positively correlated with the concentration of the drug. For the "yang deficiency" model of mice caused by hydrocortisone, the use of Cuscuta can have a certain effect on the recovery of its yang deficiency symptoms, but it failed to restore the animals to the level of the normal control group.

Experiments show that oral administration of Cuscuta australis decoction to "yang deficiency" mice can significantly increase their body weight, kidney weight, thymus weight, white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and superoxide dismutase activity; oral administration to male mice can significantly prolong the mice's swimming time and survival time under hypoxic conditions. It also has an enhancing effect on the nonspecific resistance of mice.

2. Effects on endocrine

It has been reported that oral administration of Cuscuta australis aqueous extract to female rats can increase the weight of the anterior pituitary, ovaries, and uterus, but has no effect on the level of luteinizing hormone (LH) in plasma; it increases the number of HCG/LH receptors in the rat ovaries, while the Ka value is lower than that of the control group.

Cuscuta australis aqueous extract was administered orally to ovariectomized rats, which could increase the LH secretion response of the pituitary gland to LH after injection of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LRH) in ovariectomized anesthetized rats. The plasma LH level reached the highest level 90 minutes after injection, which could be increased by 241.58%. Therefore, the reporter believed that Cuscuta australis could increase the luteinizing function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary, and this effect was not due to their direct stimulation of the secretion of pituitary luteinizing hormone, but due to the increased responsiveness of the pituitary gland to LRH and the ovary to LH.
