Abstract Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of Wuji Baifeng Soft Capsule (WJBFSC) on anovulatory menstrual irregularity in a rat model induced by subcutaneous injection of testosterone propionate. Methods Female rats of the same batch at 9 days of age were randomly divided into two groups: 10 rats received subcutaneous injection of sterile salad oil at the nape as the control group, while the remaining rats received subcutaneous injection of testosterone propionate (1.25 mg) at the nape and were maintained under conventional feeding conditions. After weaning at 22 days of age, vaginal opening was observed at 73 days of age. Rats exhibiting acyclic vaginal epithelial changes over two consecutive estrous cycles were selected as the anovulatory menstrual irregularity model. The screened model rats were stratified by body weight into six groups (n = 10): The selected model rats were divided into six groups based on body weight: model group, clomiphene citrate (positive control, 5.2 mg·kg-1, clinically equivalent dose) group, Dingkun Dan group (1.4 g·kg-1, clinically equivalent dose), and WJBFSC low, medium, and high dose groups (0.3, 0.6, 1.2 g·kg-1, with 0.6 g·kg-1 being the clinically equivalent dose), with 10 rats in each group. At the age of 83 days, each treatment group began to receive ig administration according to the dose, once daily, for six consecutive weeks. The control group and model group were given equal volumes of 0.1% CMC-Na. Uterine and ovarian coefficients were calculated. Serum sex hormone levels, including progesterone (Pg) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), were determined by ELISA. Histopathological examination of uterine, ovarian, and vaginal tissues was performed using HE staining. Results Rats in the control group exhibited regular cyclical changes in vaginal epithelial cells with estrous cycles of 4-5 days, demonstrating normal estrous periodicity. In contrast, model group rats showed markedly disrupted estrous cycles, characterized by disordered cycle sequence or prolonged diestrus and estrus phases. Compared with the model group, WJBFSC demonstrated a certain ameliorative effect on estrous cycle disturbances in model rats. Both low- and high-dose groups exhibited significant reductions in body weight (P < 0.01, 0.001), with a decreasing trend observed in the medium-dose group. Significant elevations in body temperature were observed in the low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (P < 0.01, 0.001). The high-dose group showed significant increases in both uterine and ovarian coefficients (P < 0.05). In the low-dose group, FSH and prolactin (PRL) levels were significantly decreased (P < 0.05, 0.01), while estradiol (E2) and Pg levels were significantly elevated (P < 0.05, 0.01). The medium-dose group exhibited significant reductions in luteinizing hormone (LH) and PRL levels (P < 0.05, 0.01) and a significant increase in Pg level (P < 0.001). The high-dose group demonstrated significant decreases in LH, PRL, and testosterone (T) levels (P < 0.05, 0.001) and a significant increase in Pg level (P < 0.01). In all treatment groups, the number of ovarian follicles at various developmental stages increased, with some mature follicles and corpora lutea observable. Uterine glands appeared functionally active with relatively loose stroma and increased leukocyte infiltration. Partial thickening of the keratinized layer in the cervix and vagina was observed, with visible cell desquamation. Physiological cyclical function improved compared with the model group. Conclusion WJBFSC can ameliorate abnormal body weight and temperature changes, increase ovarian and uterine coefficients, effectively improve serum sex hormone profiles, and attenuate histopathological lesions in uterine, ovarian, and vaginal tissues in the anovulatory menstrual irregularity rat model, demonstrating significant pharmacological efficacy in this model.
