Abstract

|
|
This experiment was done to investigate the effects of GAMIKWYBICHONGTANG(GKCT) on the blood and brain tissues of aged rats. The experimental groups were divided into three groups and treated as follows for ten days before administration of scopolamine ; Non treated group(Normal), Distilled water feeding group (Control), GKCT feeding group(GKCT). After feeding them each, Control and GKCT were injected scopolamine for 5 days.
We examined the changes of blood cell(WBC, RBC, platelet), blood serum(BUN, creatinine, glucose, uricacid), erythrocyte hemolysis, the activities of cholinesterase, and measured the amounts of malondialdehyde of the blood serum and checked the activities of catalase, SOD of the brain tissues.
The results were as follows;
1. GKCT showed significant increase of the number of WBC, but those of RBC and platelet didn´t significantly changed in comparison with Control.
2. GKCT showed significant decrease of BUN, creatinin, glucose, uric acid in blood serum in comparison with Control.
3. Erythrocyte hemolysis were decreased significantly in GKCT in comparison with Control.
4. About the activity of cholinesterase of blood serum, GKCT showed no significant increase in comparison with Control.
5. In TBA reaction to measure the amount of MDA, oxidant material of blood serum of rats, GKCT showed significant decrease in comparison with Control.
6. About the activity of catalase of brain tissue, GKCT showed no significant change in comparison with Control.
7. About the activity of SOD of brain tissue, GKCT showed significant increse in comparison with Control.
According to the above results, GKCT can reduce the formation of free radical and the accumulation of antioxidant materials, it is suggested that GAMIKWYBICHONGTANG(GKCT) has some effects on antiaging. It is also needed more following studies.
