In order to study the anti-stress effect of Bunsimgieum, the changes of plasma catecholamine, aldosterone and cortisol levels were measured.
In this study author gave immobilization stress to rats, and got the following results:
1. The contents of NE and EPI control group were 2.67±0.53, 1.90±0.22 ng/㎖, but in sample group the contents were 1.93±0.67, 1.15±0.28 ng/㎖.
The real significance lies in thet only NE show the difference.
2. The contents of aldosterone in control group were 440.69±37.82 Pg/㎖, but in sample group 174.64±42.41Pg/㎖ of aldosterone was measured.
The difference was obvious.
3. The cortisol contents in control group were 0.17±0.03 ㎍/㎗, but in sample group 0.28±0.03 ㎍/㎗ of cortisol was measured.
Base on the results above, it may be concluded that Bunsimgieum is effective to prevent to prevent the changes by stress.
