Objectives: Chijasitang (CJST ) has been prescribed for patients with anxiety disorder, and is believed to treat insomnia. The present study was carried out to investigate whether Fructus Gardeniae, Fermented Semen Sojae Preparatum and CJST have beneficial effects on treating anti-stress.
Methods: The mice were divided into the following groups: normal, control, positive control, and experimental. Then, the experimental groups were further divided into the Fructus Gardeniae group (FG), the Fermented Semen Sojae Preparatum group (FS), the Chijasitang water extract group (CJSTW), and the Chijasitang 30% ethanol extract group (CJSTE). In the positive control group, a single dose of imipramine (500 μg/g) was applied to the mice. In the experimental groups, each single dose of FG, FS, CJSTW and CJSTE (50 μg/g) was applied to the mice. After one hour, the mice in all groups except
the normal group were exposed to immobilization stress. Their body weights, phagocytosis, nitric oxide in macrophage, corticosterone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) were observed.
Results: Fructus Gardeniae, Fermented Semen Sojae Preparatum and Chijasitang prevented weight loss and suppressed the decrease of phagocytosis in the mice after their exposure to immobilization- stress. Although they did not influence the amount of NO, they suppressed the increment of ACTH and corticosterone in the immobilization-stressed mice.
Conclusions: According to the results of this study, they suggest that Fructus Gardeniae, Fermented Semen Sojae Preparatum and Chi-Ja-Si-Tang all have some anti-stress effects.
