1. Enhancement on immunological function
1.1 Yang deficiency mice model with decreased immunological function was made by hydrocortisone. And Yu Shen Capsule can antagonize the action exerted on lymphocyte by hydrocortisone, and has a slight effect on T lymphocytes, which indicates that this product can improve and adjust B lymphocyte function to enhance humoral immunity.
1.2 It can significantly increase the decreased amount of total peritoneal cells, type I cells (lymphocytes), type II cells (immature macrophages) and type III cells (macrophages).

4. Adjustment on plasma renin activity and content of aldosterone
The plasma renin activity and content of aldosterone decrease with the increased month of the rat. Yu Shen Capsule can greatly improve the plasma renin activity and slightly increase the content of aldosterone.
