| Purpose:This study from the medical theories of "Yin Yang interaction",Zuogui Pill,a representative formula for nourishing kidney yin,and Yougui Pill,a representative formula for warming kidney yang,were selected.The effects of Zuogui Pill and Yougui Pill on glucose,lipid metabolism and energy metabolism in PMOP model rats were studied.Zuogui Pill and Yougui Pill were based on AMPK / m TOR The effect of signal pathway on the prevention and treatment of glucose,lipid and energy metabolism disorder in PMOP model rats can provide experimental basis for the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal metabolism disorder in PMOP women under the guidance of the theory of "Yin Yang interaction".Materials and Methods: In this study,60 two-month-old female Sprague Dawley rats of SPF grade were randomly divided into 8 blank rats(KB),8 sham rats(sham)and 44 ovariectomized rats.In the ovariectomized model group,bilateral back oophorectomy was used to prepare the model.In the sham-operated group(SHAM),only a part of fat tissue around the ovary and large ovary was removed,while in the blank group(KB),no treatment was performed.One week after the operation,4 rats died of bilateral back oophorectomy.40 rats were randomly divided into ovariectomized model group(OVX),Zuogui Pill group(ZGW),Yougui Pill group(YGW)and bujiale group(BJL)according to their weight.There were 6 groups in total compared with the original blank group(KB)and sham-operated group(SHAM).Each treatment group was given the corresponding drugs by gavage,KB group,sham group and OVX group were given distilled water by gavage.After 12 weeks of administration,the dead rats and 8 rats that did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded.A total of 48 rats were included in this experiment,8 in each group.The bone mineral density of the left femur was measured under anesthesia,and the glucose tolerance was measured by cutting the tail and taking blood.The rats were not allowed to eat but not limited to drink water within 24 hours before taking the material,weighed 2 hours after the last administration,and anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 10% chloral hydrate solution for each group according to the standard of 0.3ml · 100g-1.After anesthetizing the rats,take the blood of abdominal aorta,and the blood was centrifuged according to 2000 r /min * 20 min after 2 hours of standing.The serum extracted by centrifugation was divided into aseptic EP tubes and frozen at 80 ℃,so that the total serum cholesterol,triglyceride,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and glutamic oxaloacetic acid could be detected by automatic biochemical analyzer Ammonia enzyme(AST);One third of the proximal tibia of the left hind limb of the rat was taken,the muscle fascia and connective tissue attached to the tibia were carefully peeled off,fixed(decalcified)for several weeks,and then paraffin sections were made for morphological he detection;fresh liver of the rat was taken,then the wet weight was weighed,and the liver index of the rat was calculated,and then the anterior lobe of the liver was put into aseptic EP tube and frozen at 80 ℃ for morphological HE detection;The brown adipose tissue of the scapula was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for morphological HE detection.The adipose tissue of the abdominal posterior wall was frozen in the sterile EP tube at 80 ℃.Western blot(WB)was used to detect the phosphorylation of AMPK 1,m-TORC1,p70S6k1,and the protein expression of C/EBP,C/EBP line,TSC2,Rheb,and4EBP1 in the adipose tissue of the posterior wall of the rat abdomen.The expression of AMPK α 1 and m-torc1 in the adipose tissue of the rat’s abdominal posterior wall was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR,and the content of ATP in the adipose tissue of the rat’s abdominal posterior wall was detected by HPLC.Result:1.Effect of Zuogui Pill and Yougui Pill on bone mineral density of ovariectomized rats Compared with KB group,bone mineral density index of left femur of OVX group decreased(P < 0.05).Compared with the OVX group,the bone mineral density index of the left femur of the rats in the treatment group was increased(P< 0.05 or P < 0.01);Compared with the BJL group,the bone mineral density of the rats in the ZGW group and the YGW group was similar

distribution,and significantly increased blood lipids.2.Zuogui pill and Yougui Pill can effectively prevent and treat postmenopausal osteoporosis,improve bone loss to a certain extent,and slow down bone tissue destruction.Among them,Zuogui pill is slightly better than Yougui Pill and bujiale.3.Zuogui pill and Yougui Pill can effectively prevent and treat the disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism in postmenopausal women,alleviate the abnormal situation of glucose tolerance to a certain extent,and improve the liver function and blood lipid level;among them,Zuogui pill and Yougui Pill have no significant difference.4.Zuogui pill and Yougui Pill can regulate the disorder of glucose,lipid metabolism and energy metabolism after menopause by intervening AMPK / m TOR signal pathway.There is no significant difference between Zuogui pill and Yougui Pill.5."Yang transforming Qi and Yin forming" is the theoretical basis of energy and material metabolism of the body,and the
