This study investigates the activity of total alkaloids of F.H. Germinatus (AFH) in hyperprolactinemia rats. High-dose, middle-dose and low-dose H were administered into the stomach of hyperprolactinemia rats for 30 days. It revealed that high-dose AFH had obvious curative effect in treating hyperprolactinemia. It could regulate serum E2, P, PRL, FSH, LH levels to normal decrease the pituitary prolactin positive cell number, mRNA expression level and inhibit the hyperplasia of mammary' g an in lyperprolactmemia model rats effectively. The F. H. Germinatus contained total alkaloids 42. 74±0. 08mg lordemne equivalent (HE)/g the sample using acid dye colorimetry method. F. H.
