RESUMO
In order to explore the influence of psychological stress on the reproductive axis, we started with the original data of biology from animal experiments, then we conducted the factor analysis of 6 important bio-regulatory factors and established the Factor Analysis Model for the endocrine network of reproduction axis under psychological stress. Based on the biological data obtained from animal experiments, it is found that, compared with the relationship seen in the factor analysis model in normal condition, the relationship among the biological factors is more complicated. The key factor, GnRH, has lost its strong regulating action on the subordinate factors, especially on E2; on the other hand, beta-EP has very strong regulating action on E2, and E2 is controlled mainly by beta-EP.

Object To observe the effects of the flavonoids extracted from Cuscuta chinensis Lam. (FC) on the ovarian endocrine functions in female rats exposed to psychologic stress. Methods Sound, light and electricity were combined into a stressful stimulus to induce dysfunction on ovarian endocrine functions in female rats; to observe the effects of FC on the ovarian endocrine functions in female rats exposed to psychologic stress, by determining the changes of serum E 2, P and ascorbic acid levels in adrenal gland, and by weighing the pituitaries, ovaries and uteruses. Results FC increased the serum E 2, P and the weight of pituitaries, ovaries and uteruses obviously, but did not increase ascorbic acid levels in adrenal gland in female rats exposed to psychologic stress. Conclusion FC improves the ovarian endocrine functions in female rats.
