To study the different effects of crude Atractylodis Rhizoma and processed Atractylodis Rhizoma in healthy rats, in order to prove the traditional theory that the crude Atractylodis Rhizoma has dry effects and the dry effects can be weaken by processing. Health rats had been orally administered with pure water, crude Atractylodis Rhizoma, processed Atractylodis Rhizoma and atropine. The concentration of AQP1 and AQP5 in submaxillary gland were measured by ELISA. Their index of submaxillary gland, hemorheology and moisture content of intestine were also measured. There were obvious differences of concentration of AQP1 and AQP5 in submaxillary gland, index of submaxillary gland, hemorheology and moisture content of intestine between the rats which had been orally administered crude Atractylodis Rhizoma and the rats administered processed Rhizoma Atractylodes. The dry effects of Atractylodis Rhizoma works on rats' moisture content of intestine, index of submaxillary gland and hemorheology. The dry effects can be weaken by processing.
