① Diuretic effect

Corn silk has diuretic effect on humans or rabbits, and can increase chloride excretion, but the effect is weak. The diuretic effect of the methanol insoluble part of its water extract is the strongest in dialyzers (A), and it has significant effects no matter orally, subcutaneously or intravenously. The diuretic effect is mainly extrarenal, and the effect on kidney is very weak.

② Effect on circulation system

The intravenous injection of the decoction in anesthetized dogs has significant hypotensive effect, but it has no hypotensive effect on chronic carotid artery skin bridge dogs after daily administration for 3 weeks. At low concentration, nail can dilate peripheral blood vessels.

③ Hypoglycemic effect

The fermentation preparation of corn silk has a very significant hypoglycemic effect on rabbits.

④ Cholagogic and hemostatic effects

Corn silk preparation can promote bile excretion, reduce its viscosity, and reduce its bile pigment content, so it can be used as a cholagogue for chronic cholecystitis without complications and cholangitis patients with bile excretion disorder. It can also accelerate the blood coagulation process, increase the content of thrombin in the blood, and increase the number of platelets, so it can be used as a hemostatic and diuretic for bladder and urinary tract stones.
