Systematic pharmacological studies on powdered whole part of unossified antler obtained from Cervus nippon Temminck var. mantchuricus have been carried out in mice and rats. Powdered antler, with a single oral administration, showed a very weak acute and subacute toxicity; its MLD being >5g/kg orally in mice. On daily oral treatments of the antler for 14 days, it did not cause any significant differences in body weight gain, various organ weights and serum transaminase activities compared to those of the control rats. Powdered antler, with a single oral administration, showed a remarkable analgesic activity as evaluated by writhing syndrome and tail-pressure test, a weak CNS depressant activity as well as a weak immunopotentiating action as evaluated by carbon clearance test in mice. Powdered antler, with repeated treatments, showed a moderate antifatigue effect against immobilized stress and showed significant increases in both adrenal weight and its ascorbic acid content in rats, suggesting that the mode of antifatigue effect of antler is related to adrenal and its components.

Both ethanol and water extracts of unossified velvet antler were found to exhibit a significant immuno-stimulating activity as measured by carbon clearance test in mice, a remarkable anti-fatigue effect in weight-loaded forced swimming performance in mice, a significant anti-stress effect on immobilization in rats. The antler extracts also showed a weak but significant anti-thrombotic activity. These findings are indicative of adaptogenic properties of antlers and their normalizing effects during stressful condition.

Contents of nucleic acid metabolites, such as uracil, uridine and hypoxanthine in the unossified pilose antler of Cervus nippon Temminck var. mantchuricus Swinhoe and the frozen and dried meat of Theragra chalcogramma (Thallas) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The amount of hypoxanthine in the water extract of the meat (39.2 mg %) was higher than that of the antler (24.6 mg %).

The composition of biochemical components such as lipids, proteins and their amino acid components and inorganic elements in the ashes in unossified antlers from Cervus nippon Temminck var. mantchuricus grown in Korea were analyzed to obtain fundamental data for quality control. As a result, it was found that total lipids were 20.75% which was approximately similar contents with those of proteins (21.8%). Sixteen amino acids were identified from the hydrolysate of the protein fraction. Three gangliosides with very similar TLC patterns of those such as $GM_3$, $GM_1$ and $GM_{1a}$ were identified from the water soluble layer of Folch's partitions. Ash contents were revelaed to be much higher in the sponge layer (40.0%) than in the velvet layer (3.7%).
