ABSTRACT |
Object: This research investigated effects of Jujadokseo-hwan on mice with Alzheimer’s Disease induced by amyloid-β. According to Dongyibogam, Jujadokseo-hwan can cure amnesia. Amyloid-β is believed to induce oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain, postulated to play important roles in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. In this way amyloid- β induces Alzheimer’s Disease.
Methods : In order to make an efficient prescription and cope with dementia, learning and memory functions of mice were tested on passive avoidance test and Y-maze task. NF-κB were measured from protein derived from the brain. RT-PCR was done for gene analysis. Primers were protein kinase B and NGF-α.
Results: 1. Jujadokseo-hwan was effective for memory capacity on passive avoidance test. but noneffective for spatial memory capacity and locomotor activity on Y-maze task. 2. The measurement of NF-κB showed upward tendancies and the result of RT-PCR showed up-regulation when given Jujadokseo-hwan by mouth.
Conclusion: Results suggest that Jujadokseo-hwan is effective on mice with Alzheimer's Disease induced by amyloid-β. |
